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.
Amur Stonechat
The Amur Stonechat is a small muscicapid passerine weighing around 15 grams, found across eastern Asia. It perches conspicuously on exposed vegetation in open grasslands and scrubby habitats. Males show bold black-and-white plumage with an orange-buff breast.
