A first for me, not only to see but to hear the famous song.
The RSPB page (external link) for this bird has a sound clip but I think this individual was more melodious and varied.

Interesting Lester, I don't think I've ever seen an image of a Nightingale before.
You dug nicely through some foreground clutter to grab this one and I really like the effect in the 2nd image. Of course what would Nightingale images be if you didn't have 2 wonderful ones of it singing as in #'s 1 & 3.
I will admit that I halfway expected a soundtrack when I opened the thread :)
