SebsC Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Last night, both my mum and I were unable to sleep. At about 1am we both heard a bird in the garden with the most beautiful singing. It went on for hours - I even opened my window to listen to it. My mum mentioned it might be a nightingale - I was a bit skeptical. Any ideas what it might have been?

BrandNewGuy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Not a nightingale - they're a summer visitor and, alas, don't visit London. It'll be a robin, I suspect. Along with blackbirds, male robins begin to sing through the night now that the days are getting longer. The robin's song is higher pitched, but both are very tuneful this time of year.Here's a robin singing (hit the audio button):http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/r/robin/index.aspxAnd here's a blackbird:http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/b/blackbird/index.aspx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/27471-night-bird-heard-in-east-dulwich/#findComment-602458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
