My own personal Nightingale.
14th May 2026
Nightingales can be frustrating birds to see, they usually sing from dense cover, sometimes from as little as a few feet away, but still remain hidden.
There are always exceptions to the rule they say, and outside our hotel room was an overhead power cable and for some reason, despite a wide choice of suitable habitat to sing from, a nightingale, every afternoon around the same time, appeared on this cable and sang for five minutes.
This oration was as little as fifteen feet from me as a I sat on the patio sipping a cold one. A cold beer and a nightingale serenading me was a most pleasant way to spend time relaxing.
