This morning I learn I may have been over pessimistic about the number of Nightingales. On Twitter Mike King @GlosterBirder reports '5 Nightingales this morning at RSPB Highnam Woods'
Thank you for sharing this experience. It reads like an account of an important moment and ritual for a real history book on the demise of the more-than-human world.
Nothing in life makes me more grateful than that I live in a place where I can open my bedroom window at night and listen to nightingales singing in April and May
This is an exquisite account, thank you. It captures an important moment - in an intentionally transforming life. From growing up learning ‘about’ the world, to one of communicative experience ‘with’ a world. I understand learn to sing with nightingale as metaphor for moving toward a relational worldview; one that participates in an animate, sentient, living cosmos. Surely a regenerative stance for humanity at the precipice?.

But later I learn from Sam the one male is confirmed, and he has mated and so stopped singing at night
This makes me feel so much better about the fact that the local ones have stopped in the last two nights, I never knew this before!
A rare delight! Becoming rarer. Is there a regenerative story that can be sung ?

A beautiful, elegiac piece. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for writing about this. I had tears in my eyes when you told us about it on Friday.
How beautiful, and thank you. So glad to see your comment of an hour ago about 5 Nightingales.
