There is a trough running between two fields and there is a small wood, hurst to be exact. I have stopped, I am moving very slowly, observing and counting that I will notice a Common Kingfisher, as it apparently visits this place. Foliage and twigs over quite fair trough seem to confirm that indication. Bit of time, bit of luck or maybe bad luck and I have managed to photograph...a Common Nightingale. His singing truly is extraordinary and distinct. He seats nobly on a branch and sings with all his lungs showing the yellow inside of his beak. Common Nightingale is a small bird, weighing less than a Sparrow with a wingspan of 25 centimeters, but how he sings!

My second meeting with the Common Nightingale resulted in radical changes to the gallery. The Common Nightingale had its favourite place from which its song resonated around the area. From the sound recording was not a problem. Unfortunately, a busy road was situated near and it was difficult to record a clear sound, devoid of the noise of the urbanized backgrounds. By the way, the behavior of the Common Nightingale is quite strange, considering the bird’s need for an effective strategy for survival. I photographed the Common Nightingale for nearly two hours. The Common Nightingale sang all the time, giving Red-Backed Shrike clues about his position. During my observations, the Red-Backed Shrike attacked twice. Although Common Nightingale is a seasoned singer, but it does not close its eyes while singing and it really is still awake. Not so long ago did I take pictures of the Savi's Warbler, whose monotonous chant is unbearable, when listened to for two long. With the Common Nightingale it is vice versa. This bird constantly varies his song and you can listen to it for a long time... Maybe there will be an opportunity to improve the sound, which for this species is more important than usual.
