Hello, we live out in the country 86 and last evening (01.00ish)we heard the most superb bird song, my wife described it as like the whistles you used to get that you put water in and they sounded like birdsong. It went on for ages and they were calling and answering. Could they be nightingales, if not any ideas??   Summers come at last, all that grass to cut  Charlie...............    Report

That's a "Yes" and interestingly they are a bird that is doing rather well in the Vienne, I had them on 6 out of 10 of my points of observation the other day for the National records and I've heard the same from other people that do this "work".
