About These Birds

Nachtigall

Die Nachtigall gilt als einer der begabtesten Sänger der Vogelwelt und hat Dichter von Homer bis Keats inspiriert. Männchen singen komplexe Strophen mit über 250 verschiedenen Typen, oft nachts während der Brutzeit. Trotz ihres berühmten Gesangs ist die Nachtigall unscheinbar gefärbt und hält sich verborgen im dichten Unterholz auf.
