Look at this special little bird — it’s a nightingale! It’s famous all over the world for its beautiful, magical songs that people love to listen to, especially on quiet evenings.

Right now, the nightingale is perching on a thin, leafy branch. It’s sitting very still, but its head turns gently from side to side.

Its bright, round eyes are watchful and alert — carefully looking around at everything nearby.

Maybe it’s checking for tasty insects to eat, or making sure no cats or other animals are close before it starts to sing its lovely song.

Even though nightingales are small and shy, they are very brave when they sing in the dark.
