Nature is capable of bringing us great emotions.
The discovery of a beautiful landscaped site, the observation of the rare success in the cultivation of a special plant, etc..
These emotions, it is one that ornithologists particularly enjoy: listening to the song of the Nightingale. Gifted vocal exercise, the Rossignol male occurs at all hours of the day, especially at night.
Back in our countries as soon as April, the artist looks for a wet thicket hard to penetrate when it moves into the waiting a female (males before females return). And there he produced a powerful and varied song, a succession of trills, whistles liquids and clucking sounds and murmuring "1. The benefits are the most impressive night, the calm of the night amplifying the sound production. Especially as the Nightingale is found primarily in remote locations of our overcrowded towns and villages: in the wet lowlands of our forests, in dense thickets of our valleys, swampy thickets of our countryside.
Unfortunately, this host once so common in our region is now increasingly rare. According to censuses conducted by Aves2 it no longer breeds in today's Western Hainaut that almost exclusively in the valley of hatred.
Therefore, what a pleasure for us to listen in the natural reserve of "Marc and surroundings." Since 2006 he has been heard every year on the site, in ditches and wet woods bordering the heaps. This year's first hearing was noted on April 17. He sang again three weeks later, evidence of its installation on site.
Hopefully we will hear it again for years. 1
