Jawdropping playing from Lisa Batiashvili in Sibelius's Violin Concerto at the First Night of the Proms! Missed it live, but caught up over the weekend. It's Breakfast @BBCRadio3 6.30 - 9.30 and it was a Crested Lark for the dawn chorus. Come and start the week with us ☕️

Good weekend? We had a great time visiting family in Newmarket 📸. Back in Salford now for Breakfast @BBCRadio3 6.30-9.30. Keeping it super simple with a Dunnock for the dawn chorus, and Bach Before 7 is a new recording of his Cello Suites by Jian Wang. See you there!

Fantastic show this morning, particularly the Oh Fortuna for Ozzy. Would not have guessed the Elgar (sounded like Dvorak or Brahms?). The Bizet and Rossini were also nice and lively. Made drive to Cambridge for client meeting go smoothly.

Had a good chat with the local sheep last night 😃 In Wednesday's Breakfast on @bbcradio3 the dawn chorus was a Lesser Whitethroat. & just before 9 it's George Ensescu's Romanian Rhapsody, based on a Transylvanian drinking song, which seems appropriate with the death of Ozzy 💔

It was a harbour full of Herring Gulls for the dawn chorus today in Breakfast @bbcradio3. Here's one at Hilbre Island on the Wirral. Plus there's Bach Before 7, Mozart Before 8 and Elgar Before 9.

Good light up above Glossop last night. Thursday's Breakfast @BBCRadio3 is up and running! Purple Sandpipers were your birds for the dawn chorus. And this is the last Breakfast from Salford for this week... because tomorrow we're moving to the ROYAL ALBERT HALL! 🤯🤯🤯

Breakfast on @bbcradio3 6.30-9.30. And I've just read that Walkmans and cassettes are apparently making a comeback! What did you listen to on yours? Do you still have one?

Please, sir, can I have some more Bach? 😂 Yes you can in Bach Before 7 on @BBCRadio3 Breakfast. And there's Bach After 9 today as well! Happy Tuesday 🌧

It's going to be a toasty day! Friday's Breakfast @BBCRadio3 started with a Blyth's Reed Warbler in the dawn chorus. Three hours of excellent music now till 9.30. Come give it a try! 🌞

Turning up the studio speakers for a proper blast of Haydn on @BBCRadio3 🤘

Swifts were the stars of Thursday's dawn chorus in @BBCRadio3 Breakfast. Just a little reminder to make the most of them over the next couple of weeks until they head south.

Golden Plover in the Pennines was this morning's dawn chorus in Breakfast @bbcradio3. This one 📸 was on the Snake Pass in Derbyshire. Come join us till 9.30!

Got to admire the quality of work from the Media City window cleaners! Breakfast @BBCRadio3 6.30-9.30 and a Song Sparrow singing in the USA was today's dawn chorus. Matthias Goerner is singing in Bach Before 7 and there's Steven Osborne's new album of Schubert. Oh yeah!
