This was definitely in the category of “did that really happen?!” Sitting in darkness beside the bush of a singing male nightingale being accompanied by amazing musicians. As one said, he’s The Original! A truly awe inspiring connection with nature. singingwithnightingales.co.uk

Retweet when you see it! 😀 (Extra points if you know what 'it' is!)
