Oh how wonderful, despite my years in the UK and the well known line ' A Nightingale sang in Berkley Square', I have never ever actually seen one. So thank you, it is even singing! Posted 11 years ago

  Thank you, Claire, I am glad you like this photo. It is quite difficult to spot this little bird. I stay calm couple of hours in the shrubs, listen how they sing and cannot see them among the leaves. This is the first time I captured one of them. Posted 11 years ago
