Birdsong radio station a hit with listeners

A radio station that broadcasts the sound of birdsong from a British country garden has become an unlikely hit.

Half a million listeners so far have tuned in to the Birdsong station, with an increasing number choosing to wake up to the soothing sound every morning.

The station has proved so popular the company behind it has bowed to public pressure for better sound quality 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, which is repeated on a continuous loop.
