It's lovely to hear the song of,I presume, a nightingale in a london Plane in the Grange Road area. He seems to be singing most nights and is singing right now. Ahhh...
Your post attracts an ad for pest control. I wonder how long before someone complains of the noise it makes during the night and calls them in? Seriously though I have heard it too near Decima street/wilds rents. It is lovely to hear.
When I lived in Law Street (just off Wild's Rents) I used to occasionally hear something like that when I was up around dawn (not often, as a student).
There is another recent thread about birdlife which corroborates the nightingale theory!
It's 1:15 am and I can hear a blackbird outside singing away - they have a beautiful song, and like Sarah, I'm wondering if the nightingale is really a blackbird. Nightingales don't usually arrive here until later in the year, and need a lot of woodland/hedgerow cover as they are ground nesters. They are getting quite rare.
We too have birds singing throughout the night in Searles Road but I was told they are robins and not nightingales or blackbirds, just thought I would throw that into the mix!
