Luscinia megarhynchos
The nightingale is the size of a sparrow, slightly larger than Robin. By its looks, Nightingale is not particularly attractive and lacks distinctive characteristics: it is brown above, with rufous rump and tail, and unified off-white to gray below. On the other hand, it is easily spotted by its powerful and beautiful song.
Seen this spring in protected deciduous lowland forest, mainly oak and beech, in Geneva lake valley.
