City Nightingale

Deep within the heart of the city of concrete and steel the nightingale still rules supreme. Perched on treetops, windowsills, and fire escapes the nightingales welcome each day with unparalleled enthusiasm. They call to each other with urgent and delicate expectancy.

The Common Nightingale or simply Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos), also known as Rufous Nightingale, is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher,Muscicapidae. It belongs to a group of more terrestrial species, often called chats.
