  • Summary

  • Rob Smith visits Moat Farm in Kent to figure out where the nightingales went and how farmer Michael Bax has been on a mission to bring them back. Learn all about nightingales, where they are found and how habitat is being created for them. Spoiler, you may even get to hear the exquisite night-time song of a nightingale in action!


    The common nightingale or Luscinia megarhynchos are rather plain birds who are difficult to spot in the foliage of a tree but their song is a great way to identify them. It's very melodic and rich! They winter in West Africa and arrive back in the UK around April time to breed so we are privileged to hear them call to maintain their territories and find their mates. Nightingales are on the UK Red list for conservation status as their numbers have shown a steady decline here. One of many migratory species who could find our colder, wetter springs unsuitable.
