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.
Ashy Flycatcher
The Ashy Flycatcher is a small African flycatcher found in the understory of tropical forests in West and Central Africa. Weighing about 15.8g with a wingspan near 15.8cm, it is uniformly grey with a pale eye-ring. It perches quietly in the forest interior and sallies for insects.
