I'm not the only one on a quest to find nightingales this spring.
I slept on Salthouse Heath two nights ago, which represented my first attempt to find nightingales on my tour of Norfolk and Suffolk. The only time I heard nightingales (in England) was here, in a tent, while on a school trip. If there was one nightingale singing that night, there must have been a dozen, and they kept us awake.
My sleep was uninterrupted by nightingales two nights ago, though I met a guy in the morning, with binoculars, who was looking - and listening - for nightingales too. Salthouse Heath remains one of the few places where it's possible to see them... but he'd had no more luck than me...
