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.
Ala Shan Redstart
The Ala Shan Redstart is a near-threatened muscicapid bird weighing about 17 g with a wingspan near 18 cm. It breeds in the Helan Mountains and surrounding arid regions of north-central China, inhabiting rocky mountain slopes and sparse woodland.
