Thread Name: The Nightingales Sing
Subject: RE: The Nightingales Sing
Thanks for those links, Wilfried. I was going to see if I could find some recordings- and you did it for us. Thank you.

Two things occur to me:

1. The bird has such a varied call. Many warblers make liquid and musical sounds but they tend to have more limited calls.
2. Any bird that sings in the night is already remarkable. I can imagine sitting late into the night with someone special and hearing the song of the nightingale. Lovely.

Nice to hear it in a re-playable form. I have heard it in various movies but never for long.
