So you think YOU can sing.......

Many people think they have heard a nightingale....any bird singing at night, robins and blackbirds are common culprits. But when you hear a nightingale it is truly an amazing experience, and one that I look forward to each year. They are increasingly rare, liking sites with dense vegetation. Paxton Pits near Cambridge is a great spot for them and well worth getting up early for. As you can see from the excellent video clip, they do not just sing at night. Let's hope that the wet weather does not set in for another month as predicted so that I can enjoy a still sunny morning listening to this fabulous songster......
