About These Birds
Common Nightingale
The common nightingale is celebrated as one of the finest songsters in the bird world, inspiring poets from Homer to Keats. Males sing complex phrases of over 250 different types, often at night during breeding season. Despite its famous song, the nightingale is a plain-looking bird that skulks in dense vegetation.
Arabian Wheatear
The Arabian Wheatear is a small insectivorous chat from the Arabian Peninsula, belonging to the Muscicapidae family. It inhabits rocky desert terrain and arid hillsides, where it perches prominently on rocks and boulders to survey for insects. Its black-and-white patterning and upright posture are characteristic of wheatears in open landscapes.
