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.
Bearded Scrub-robin
The Bearded Scrub-robin is a small, ground-dwelling bird of the forest understory and woodland edges in East and Central Africa, from Somalia to Zambia. It has brown upperparts, a white throat with fine black streaking giving a bearded appearance, and warm rufous flanks. It forages among leaf litter for insects, spiders, and small invertebrates.
