Thrush Nightingales are barely annual in Oslo although small numbers are regular nearby. A pair did breed last year and a male is back singing in the exact same spot. Hopefully a mate will turn up again this year. pic.twitter.com/r512ZzUtnH

THRUSH Nightingale (quite possibly?!)
This morning (May 22nd) a head wind dropped a couple of things near Luccombe Chine: a Reed warbler and this Nightingale singing away in some scrub: after a recording of its song was widely shared (and debated) it came to light it was likely a much rarer Thrush Nightingale! aka 'sprosser'. Mark B had joined me and we'd got to within a couple of meters of it....The Island's first (I believe) if accepted.
