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.
Atlas Flycatcher
The Atlas Flycatcher is a small Old World flycatcher breeding in the Atlas Mountains of northwest Africa. Weighing about 12.6g, the male shows bold black-and-white plumage typical of the pied flycatcher group. It inhabits mountain woodlands and olive groves, catching insects on short aerial sallies from exposed perches.
