Here’s a better recording of the Nightingale:

These birds are really difficult to see as they nearly always keep themselves hidden in the undergrowth. It’s a challenge to get a photo or any video!

Great to hear a Nightingale singing beautifully next to the MOD track leading to the rifle Range. It was only a few metres away tucked into the undergrowth. Accompanied by a Whitethroat.

The weather was grey, chilly & windy, so no surprise that I didn’t see a single butterfly anywhere.
