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.

Black-banded Flycatcher

The Black-banded Flycatcher is a small flycatcher endemic to the island of Timor in the Lesser Sundas. It has olive-brown upperparts with a distinctive black breast band. It forages in the forest understory and edges for insects, gleaning them from leaves and branches.
