The insignificantly looking bird with the great voice. Singing until summer solstice, but easiest to spot now before the foliage gets too thick and the birds more discrete when brooding starts. |

Rarely stayed in the open for quite some time, but still I didn't get to adjust the camera settings, why this photo was taken at 6400 iso. Surprisingly still useful, I would say. |

Adult. ♂. Arrived on May 8. Singing slowly why, in the beginning, I also suspected a Common Nightingale. But now and then it had the classic notes of Thrush. And now, by request (others have heard it too, it appears), I made this recording, and it should be clear that it is a Thrush Nightingale. It's been moving about, trying different positions between our houses and the hotel on Gemmas Alle. Now it sits along that road. I saw it and it had the typical grayish look, but the most exciting part is, that I think I saw the rump of another bird. I've been pretty sure that it would never attract a female because of the isolated location, away from any natural habitat. But perhaps not. Maybe the dense shrub covering the highway tunnel is well suited anyway. Also: Common Wood-Pigeon, coughing woman. |

♂. Song. Still present, singing eagerly both night and day. And still from the hedgerow bordering our property in front of the station. Last year it also started out there, but then began to move to different spots in the vicinity, probably marking the border of its territory. It's interesting to watch the spectrogram, which indeed reveals a vocal master in full display - it almost looks like a music score created by the one of the great masters - but of course the inspirations is opposite. Masterly Bird! Also: traffic noise. |
