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.
Banggai Jungle-flycatcher
The Banggai Jungle-flycatcher is a Near Threatened flycatcher of the family Muscicapidae endemic to Peleng Island in the Banggai Archipelago of Indonesia. It inhabits forest understory and edges, where it catches insects by sallying from low perches. Its extremely restricted island range makes it vulnerable to habitat change.
