Spring watch nightingale song

A male nightingale singing in the evening last week in a wood in southern Gloucestershire, on the Western edge of the nightingale's range. This is typical nightingale country: hazel coppice with water nearby. 


    The bird sang continuously for at least two minutes. Nightingales sing only between mid-May and mid-June, then they go silent.
