ReplyDeleteWhat time did you go Graham? We were down at the pits on 2 different nights last weekend around midnight and they were pretty much all singing! Over the years we have noticed that they seem to have a few hours rest after sundown and pipe up again after that.

Hi V.... :)
Deletei was down there at 10pm for about half an hour...not a peep... :( ....never mind....im aiming to go back tonight....may have to postpone till a bit later this time...im guessing they were on down time, having a kip...
I hope they sing for you tonight. There really is nothing like it, hearing only nightingale song in the dark. The sound travels so you should be able to hear them singing near and far. They were singing when we arrived at 11.30pm, so perhaps if you try 11 they'll have started. Enjoy :-)
