Nightingale

Nightingale

The nightingale has become a romanticized character for the inspiring beauty of the song it sings on warm spring nights. This otherwise ordinary bird becomes extraordinary when it delivers its loud, undulating rhythm of sounds. Nightingales are 6.5 inches in length and have brown plumage, speckled with white on the undersurface. The nightingale is a shy bird and is rarely seen emerging from the protection of the undergrowth. The nightingale can be found throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. [BM] {FW}
