One of the joys of living here is to listen to the nightingale’s song on an early summer evening. There is never a guarantee but at the place I visit I have never failed to hear several of these archetypal songsters in full voice. I think the song of the nightingale is so distinctive, so exceptional it is impossible to confuse it with any other bird. Once you have heard one you will always recognise it. It was in Berkshire that I heard the song of the nightingale for the first time in more than 30 years and yet when I heard it again I knew immediately, although I could barely believe my ears. When I go to listen to the nightingale sing there are always other people about, walking their dogs or in family groups or engaging in conversation with friends. What I struggle to understand is, why don’t they stop and listen too? I want to stop them and say, “can you not hear, haven’t you heard, what is wrong with you?” Is the song of the nightingale so familiar that it is not worth stopping to listen to? Would they thank me if I pointed it out? Are they just content in the things that occupy them? I have never stopped anyone and suggested they join me in listening but I do come across others who are there for the same reason I am. -
