Common nightingale

The common nightingale is a small, song-loving bird found across parts of Europe and Asia. It's famous for its rich, musical voice that fills the air at night. Though it looks like a typical brown songbird, its singing sets it apart from its chat-loving relatives.

• Sings powerful, complex songs mostly at night during breeding season.
• Sometimes interbreeds with its close relative, the thrush nightingale.
• Prefers hopping on the ground more than many other songbirds.
