Sounds like nightingale to me, lovely recording. FYI ... Here's a link to a=
collection of nightingales from across Europe http://www.xeno-canto.org/sp=
ecies/Luscinia-megarhynchos including one I recorded in Somerset a few year=
s ago ... http://www.xeno-canto.org/99076 . I especially like those long pl=
aintive pure tones they do. cheers, Tony
