Interesting. The recording of the nightingale on that site was made at 2
a.m.! Even later than when I heard the bird in question. I was awake
last night at around 3 a.m. and heard it again but the rain was making
so much noise I couldn't hear the song properly. Strange - it was
singing in the rain the other night.

Many thanks for that, though I'll have to wait until I get back to
England to hear it as Realplayer crashes my laptop!
