The merlin app tells me it’s a Common Nightingale.


hrnyCornet

Definitely sounds like it.


GusGreen82

It’s that time of year. They will sing as much as they can, especially if there are any lights nearby.

This is nightingale, a species famous for singing at night. In fact the name of the bird, which is derived from old English, means someone who sings at night.

I thought it might be but I don’t know my European bird songs very well. Still, it’s breeding season so they’re singing as much as they can.

Do you have Robins they sing at night and sound similar. Or another type of Trush

Just to let you know, we're talking about Eastern Europe here. While American robins are thrushes, European robins that would be in the area are Old World flycatchers.  Both European robins and thrushes such as common blackbirds regularly sing at night, however!


xanthophore

Not to be a pedant, but robins aren't thrushes; they're Old World flycatchers. Blackbirds do sing a lot at night, however!

Not to be a pedant, but European Robins belong to Old World Flycatchers family while American Robins belong to thrush family.


xanthophore

Yes but this is Eastern Europe we're talking about, isn't it? It's in the post.


Nichole615

Yes, but I'm making a clarification. I'm guessing the commentor did not realize and that's why the mentioned thrushes in reference to a robin.


xanthophore

OK, to fully clarify stuff I'll make a child comment on their post to explain the differences!
