      Thanks, it has taken more than 2 years of visits to this specific site to get this shot, its all about timing you have to get there just as they arrive but before the trees are fully in leaf or you just cant see them in the foliage. This is my favorite from the shoot

The Common nightingale

The common nightingale or simply nightingale, also known as rufous nightingale, is a small passerine bird best known for its powerful and beautiful song. It was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae.
