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.
Black-backed Forktail
The Black-backed Forktail is an elegant, long-tailed bird of rocky mountain streams in the eastern Himalayas through to southern China and mainland Southeast Asia. It has a black back and white underparts with a deeply forked black-and-white tail that it constantly bobs and fans. It forages along fast-flowing streams for aquatic insects, small crustaceans, and fish.
