@jeremycherfas Brilliant, look forward to how you get on. Also tempted…
Have you seen reveil
> The Reveil broadcast will again make a full loop of the earth over the Dawn Chorus Day weekend in May 2026.
I’ve taken part a few times with my phone, I wonder if your set up could join in?

@johnjohnston discovered to my shame that I had bought the wrong Pi and hoping I can fix that on Monday. Thanks for the tip about reveil. I wasn’t aware, and I fear much of the birdsong will be over here by then, but I will check it out.

@jeremycherfas I think any birds are fine. My contribution last time I took part was the sound of a helicopter over the park at 5:30am 😀 they cut my stream pretty quick!
Not sure what you need for your pi, but I had a wee one with no WiFi but got a dongle.
