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-banded Flycatcher
The Black-banded Flycatcher is a small flycatcher endemic to the island of Timor in the Lesser Sundas. It has olive-brown upperparts with a distinctive black breast band. It forages in the forest understory and edges for insects, gleaning them from leaves and branches.
