Nightingale is included in the 2006 Wikipedia CD Selection, or is a candidate for inclusion in the next version. Please maintain high quality standards and, if possible, stick to GFDL-compatible images. |
The photograph seems to show a Thrush Nightingale Luscinia luscinia not a Nightingale Luscinia megarhynchos on the basis of the dull colouration, mottled breast and yellow gape.
Also, the second sentence under symbols make no sense!

- I've tried to make that bit intelligible. I agree it looks more Thrush Nightingale, but the picture location is right for breeding Nightingale, bit southerly for Luscinia luscinia. Can't see primary projection in this image. jimfbleak
Agreed. On range it should be Nightingale, although it could be a migrant/vagrant I suppose, but either way it doesn't look like a Nightingale and so isn't a good choice. An encyclopedia photos should show a typical bird. Puffinbillyunst 10:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, but all the iw articles either use this image or the old Naumann painting, so no alternative really at present. jimfbleak 12:37, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
