Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Listen for the song. The Nightingale's song is its most prominent feature. Listen for it at dawn, dusk, or even throughout the night during the breeding season (April-June). Its powerful voice can carry a long distance.
2. Be patient and quiet. Nightingales are very shy and secretive. Find a suitable habitat patch, remain still and quiet, and listen. You might catch a glimpse as it moves between cover.
3. Look low. They spend most of their time on or near the ground, hidden in dense vegetation. Focus your search in the lower layers of shrubs and undergrowth.
4. Visit at the right time. The best time to observe or hear Nightingales is during their breeding season, from late April to June, when males are actively singing.
