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.
Angola Cave-chat
The Angola Cave-chat is a medium-sized muscicapid with a 19.8 cm wingspan, weighing around 38 grams. As its name suggests, it is associated with rocky habitats and caves in Angola. It perches on rocks and ledges, flycatching and foraging for insects in rugged terrain.
