As I mentioned on your last post, I've never been able to take a decent photo of one. This year I've only glimpsed them again, and haven't seen one singing. But I've been listening to them and their beautiful song - wonderful!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792703802542843791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365178818029938715.post-55159438696551951742014-05-05T21:07:11.909+01:002014-05-05T21:07:11.909+01:00Thanks Nathalie.Thanks Nathalie.Roy Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054701497328213666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365178818029938715.post-42869387207646340292014-05-05T12:40:50.560+01:002014-05-05T12:40:50.560+01:00Even if the light was bad, this is a great chance ...Even if the light was bad, this is a great chance to see the Nightingale.<br />Extraordinary.
