A radio station that broadcasts nothing but the sound of birdsong from a British country garden has become an unlikely hit.
Half a million listeners have tuned in to the Birdsong station and the company behind it has bowed to public pressure and upgraded the recording.
Starting at 6am every day and closing at midnight, the station plays a 20 minute-long recording of birds singing in chorus on a continuous loop.
An RSPB spokesman told the Daily Telegraph: "Birdsong has always been a source of happiness and inspiration and is important in all of our lives."
The Birdsong station broadcasts on a slot once used by OneWord, a spoken-word station that closed down earlier this year.
I'd :zelfmoord if I had to hear that all day long.
