Taking place on the first Sunday of May, International Dawn Chorus Day is the worldwide celebration of nature’s greatest symphony. All across the world people rise early to revel in the sweet sound of birdsong, from rattling wrens in Rotherham to crooning cowbirds in the Caribbean.

The attractive but unobtrusive wood warbler, chosen by Vicky for her design, has bright yellow upper parts, throat and upper chest and white under parts. Despite being widespread in deciduous forest in Europe, particularly in the western oak woods of Wales, the species is on the RSPB’s Red List, meaning that they face severe decline and need urgent conservation action. Now more than ever, it is important for us to pay attention to birds in danger, which is why Moorcroft designers continually celebrate their form in design and as a company we continue to work closely with wildlife charities.

The wood warblers of Vicky’s design, a limited edition of 25, sit on leafy oak branches, laden with plump acorns. Their beaks are wide open, letting the world know about their presence during the dawn chorus.
