About Birdsong Academy founder Charlie Peverett
Charlie is a long-time naturalist, bird surveyor and bird guide who has helped thousands of people to identify birds by sound over the last thirty years.
During the lockdown in spring 2020 Charlie created Up With The Birds, a ‘crowdsourced dawn chorus’ via Zoom that connected people all over the UK to listen, share and learn about the birdsong near them.
Charlie is co-founder of the Sussex-based research and content consultancy Wilsome, and has previously led communications for the charity Rewilding Britain.

“Just home after a wonderful morning listening to birdsong with Charlie. So informative, knowledgeable and fun!
As the dawn broke, we strolled through beautiful countryside and identified 29 different bird species with the help of Charlie’s expertise and enthusiasm.
It was a really special morning - loved it.”
