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.
Bearded Scrub-robin
The Bearded Scrub-robin is a small, ground-dwelling bird of the forest understory and woodland edges in East and Central Africa, from Somalia to Zambia. It has brown upperparts, a white throat with fine black streaking giving a bearded appearance, and warm rufous flanks. It forages among leaf litter for insects, spiders, and small invertebrates.
