- •
Some songbirds start dawn song earlier in habitats exposed to light pollution.
- •
This change in the timing of singing may result from behavioural plasticity.
- •
We manipulated light at night in a cyclic fashion in undisturbed forest patches.
- •
The study species advanced onset of dawn singing under experimental light at night.
- •
Response was strong in the robin, but weak in blackbirds, great tits and blue tits.
