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.
African Forest-flycatcher
The African Forest-flycatcher weighs about 35g and inhabits rainforests of West and Central Africa. It forages at mid-canopy level, catching insects in flight and gleaning them from foliage.
