Nightingale

The Nightingale reporting rate is on the way up, right on cue. Always restricted to the southern half of England, Nightingales disappeared from many of their former haunts in the period between the first two BTO breeding atlases (1968-72 and 1988-91), and Bird Atlas 2007-11 is expected to reveal further losses. This week sees the start of a focused Nightingale survey to better understand what is happening to this iconic species - can you help?
