About These Birds
African Grey Flycatcher
The African Grey Flycatcher weighs about 18g and inhabits dry savanna and woodland of East Africa. It perches on exposed branches and sallies to catch insects close to the ground.
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.
