NIGHTINGALES

The song of the nightingale is fabled – in the 19th century they were kept in cages to sing in the home.

But each autumn they met a horrific end, ramming themselves against the bars in their effort to migrate. They are now at risk due to changes in the dense woodland habitat they so desperately need.

HELP THEM: Donate to a Wildlife Trust or the RSPB, and fight to protect local woodlands.

SEE THEM: At Lincolnshire’s

Whisby Nature Park. They’re also back at Knepp Castle, West Sussex, which has storks and beavers too.
