The Nightingale is a relatively dull-coloured Old World flycatcher. The male is famed for his beautiful call - considered one of the most beautiful sounds in nature. It contains whistles, trills and gurgles. Unpaired males will sing regularly at night, probably to attract mates, whereas a paired male will sing at dawn, during the sunrise chorus, to defend his territory. Nightingale are found in open woodland and scrub of Europe and south-west Asia, joining the migration south, to West Africa, for winter.
