The dawn chorus is the collective sound of all the birds that sing at dawn, and is thought to be one of the most magical experiences in nature. It usually refers to the sound made by woodland birds that sing during the breeding season between late March and the beginning of July, but it can also be heard in coastal and urban locations and travels east to west with the rising sun, a literal wave of sound across the face of the earth. At its most simple it is a way for rival male birds (for it is the male of the species who sings in the majority of cases) to fight and resolve conflicts without directly coming to blows. It is also a way to impress and attract female birds – he who sings loudest and longest can claim more territory and in turn has a higher chance of finding a mate.
