Any ideas on best place (ie. site/cl ) in UK. to hear Nightingales ? Have only ever heard them in the rest of Europe. Would I be right in assuming it would be sites in the south east ??? :thumb:

We heard them at the Caravan Club Cherry Hinton site near Cambridge. It was in May/June last year.

Southeast and East Anglia are the hotspots. Here is the BTO survey map and commentary from 2013

Places such as RSPB Minsmere in Suffolk, Pulborough Brooks in Sussex might be worth trying.

We used to get them in our garden in Kingsbridge, South Devon but they are very common here in Spain.

However, I think their song is overrated! Wouldn't go out of my way to hear it.

for us they bring back memories of Continental holidays with special friends enjoying good food and wine and listening to their beautiful melody.:thumb:

Obviously the Iberian nightingales sing in Spanish.
Not nearly as melodic as the English ones.
