Inspired by your last bird song video, I got up early yesterday morning and instead of just getting on with my day I opened the back bedroom window and just listened to the dawn chorus in the woods behind me for a while. What a great start to the day.
Hi Beryl - this is so good to hear :) We leave the bedroom window (upstairs) open at night in the warmer months just so we can hear them all when we wake up, usually by the Song Thrush - it really does help start the day :) Hope you had a good weekend, best wishes - Joel
I did the same Beryl, but did it yesterday evening . The sounds were just beautiful 😊
@@craigfarleymusician8481 I went out this evening just as it was getting dark. Magical!
@@Bezjc1936 ah, lovely to hear . It’s just perfect isn’t it 😊
So beautiful
What a treat, beautiful songs from a beautiful bird.
your passion for wildlife is so contagious i hope this becomes the new pandemic.
Such an iconic bird! Believe it or not I have just come in from potting on my marigolds and I was listening to a nightingale and a black cap having a sing off. Such show offs! ❤
That's wonderful Angela, so glad you got to hear one this morning, the Black Cap just as beautiful but of course more "common" for us to hear. Sounds like you've had a productive morning :) Best wishes, Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton to be honest we are supremely blessed, as soon as mid April comes, the nightingale arrives and doesn’t keep quiet for some considerable time. They are my backing vocals to daily life. We are so lucky in rural central France to have such a wide variety of birds around us.
By the way, your channel works… having followed your channel and watched your videos for a few months now, you have inspired me greatly and I now have a wildlife pond and have recently started a wildflower meadow on part of our garden. Thank you so much for all your help and inspiration x
Pure enchantment this sound, pure enchantment in your eyes. How lovely! What a treat for the senses! Thank you🥰
Lovely and clear sound! Thanks for this treat!
Thanks Joel so lovely to listen too 😁
Emotional!!
You’re 35 years old! You could be my son 😁 I would be proud to have you as a son, doing what you do, getting people inspired about our nature. But actually I have a dad I am very proud of. He has done some much for local nature preservation in my home town. I should tell him that ☺️ I will…
Your enthusiasm and pleasure from listening to the beautiful bird song is a joy to see. 😀
The woods look amazing!
How magical a sound is that Joel!!!!. Me and my mate watch a pair of Nightingales nesting in the car park, back in the 80's
Pure joy to hear those liquid notes. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing that with us Joel 🤗🐦🌿
Ah what a treat this video is Joel. Mesmerising. Great job filming it too. Gotta say the sheer joy on your face was so lovely to see!😁
Thank you Joannee, when I heard the Nightingale I just had to record it and then share it with you all, such a tiny bird in comparison with it's huge voice. So glad you enjoyed this, I certainly did! ;) Best wishes - Joel
Im 20 years older than you Joel, but our love of nature is something that breaches that generation gap. I love walking through woodland listening to the birdsong. I do need to improve my knowledge though, I'm often frustrated at not being able to ID species. I read Ode to a Nightingale when I was at school but I think it's a melancholy poem about man's mortality and the Nightingale's immortal song. Must check it out again.
I'm the same, my grandfather would point out the different bird sings to me as a child but I never got the hang of it then. I'm trying to learn now.
💖💗💓💗💝
I came to this video seeking confirmation about what I was just listening to through the open kitchen window in my flat, I guess it is indeed a Nightingale. Absolutely fascinating sounds, though not as musical as the male Blackbird, it's just as mesmerising.
I was grinning all the way through this video with you Joel. Only heard one once in my long life Joel, your right it is like something you’d hear in a jungle, so fluid and melodic. What a treat!
Wowowowowow you’re such a lucky man!! I need to get out and find one!! Currently creating a scrubland area for the nightingale at my place of work. You’re very very lucky, I’m very jealous of you right now Joel!!
Hey there Joel,😊Good Morning! The joy in your eyes and your voice says it all!!! 😍Thanks for whispering, lol. I hear you about getting back to your day job lololol! Wow! 20 years since you heard one🤩 I'm full of joy right now!! God graced you with the sounds of this beautiful bird just for this video!!😇Thank you for sharing and caring! Sherry ❤💯❤
Incredible Joel, I’m looking forward to some dawn choruses soon in and around my local woods.
Your wee face 🫣
Tremendous to see such enthusiasm 🥹
Thank you Paige :) Yes, it was hard to hide my glee and enthusiasm, hearing this wonderful bird again after many years - hope you had a good weekend, and thank you - Joel
Seeing your pure joy is so lovely to see. That gives me joy. Thank you. Needed a bit of joy in my life.
Glad I could be of help :) I certainly couldn't contain my joy in this video, for sure - best wishes, Joel
What a wonderful woods to explore and enjoy birdsong while your there. Last summer I watched a pair of robins with a nest in one of my trees. Mom was watching over the children when a huge blue jay flew up on another branch. It flew at her, when she chased it dad showed up and watched over the children. Blue jay gone and mom was back on watch.
It's the most beautiful sound isn't it! I've been lucky enough to hear a couple over the years and it's always a joy. You look like the Cheshire cat haha. So glad you were in the right place at the right time.
I live in southern Indiana and have one outside my bedroom window year. Hated it at first but then chuckled and LOVE it now!
That's great :) They really are unmistakable after a while, and such an impressive call. Best wishes, Joel
Nightingales only live in Europe ,sorry.
@@pegjones7682 and North Africa, i'm actually gonna post a 3 minute video of its singing,
❤️ the songs of the birds 😊
HaHa! As you said "I wish I didn't have a job to go too" I was literally saying to you "Get back to the day job Joel!"
It 's wonderful to hear Nightingales,well done for recording this one. What luck you chose to visit the wood when you did. 💚
Magic indeed.✅
What a majestical sound never heard it in real life...I listen to the dawn chorus quite often normally from 4.30am .
You’re right it does sound like you’re in the Amazon.
Beautiful song 👌🏻
Joel!! My cousin in Thessaloniki in Greece sent me a video of a song bird that started just singing last week and heard it at night as well.
Just listened to it again and it definitely sounds like the Nightingale.
I’ll send you a video and you can let me know if it is or not 😊
That's amazing Joel. Thank you.
What a wonderful song, I've never had a chance to hear one in britain.
There is an amazing recording of nightingales singing while a formation of bombers flew over from 1942/43.
I'm going to look for that recording Paul! That's sounds wonderful. I'd not heard one in this wood for many years so I was pretty enthused on hearing it :) Hope you had a good weekend - Joel
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton
Joel, I think there is another famous recording of a cello player, she is playing a piece on the cello in her garden, I think it was recorded in Kent, but I can't remember the name of the cellist. Amazingly she is accompanied by serenading nightingales who seem to respond to her playing.
@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton
The name of the cellist is Beatrice Harrison, and it was recorded way back in 1924. 👍
Last evening I heard 5 Nightingales in conversation in Somerset, the nearest one was up on my roof, about 20 feet from where I was sitting, quite unafraid of me and my dogs. They're so polite, one calls, then another, then the next, they wait until the previous one has finished speaking! Quite unafraid of me and my and my dogs.
This looks like home 💕 love the woods. 🕊️💕 Thanks Joel
Hi Joel. I wait every year for the first Nightingale, Chuckoo and Common Swift and I write down the date I hear or see them for the first time. I have heard the first Nightingale 9 days ago, the other two not yet. Best wishes to you! Edit: Today, April 26 I heard the first Chuckoo!
Amazing joel I bet you could stay there all day listening I know I would too 🐸💚🐸
Great to capture this Joel. Absolutely magical 🙂👍
No words! Thank you for sharing these amazing sounds Joel. Music to my ears!
What a wonderful way to spend a morning. Really appreciate these video’s as I don’t think we get Nightingales this far north, would love to hear one in the wild 🐝
I have no idea about nightingales here in Australia haha but I love your excitement to hear them!!That’s how I feel when I see or hear the birds I love here 💕 (as another commenter said - the sheer joy on your face! Love it 😊
Must be so exciting, 🕊️❤️
Beautiful. 😊 ❤️
I've only ever heard one, about 10 years ago. It was in a bramble bush I was sitting next to on a Forestry Commission plantation near my home. 😊
It's a sound you've clearly not forgotten though :) It definitely stays with you doesn't it - best wishes, Joel
We heard it on Sunday 24 /04 /2022 in Neath area
Lovely. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish between all the other symphonica :)
Thanks for the video
Hi Kamil - that's fantastic :) So glad you got to hear them too. Best wishes, and thanks - Joel
Joel, shame you didn't have your cello with you😄
I’m very sure I’ve never seen a nightingale but I do remember my mother talking about them a lot when I was really young so it may well be I did I just don’t remember 🙄 what a lovely sound though and I’m glad you’ve been able to get so close to really get that footage for us. I was lucky enough this morning whilst sat at the dining table see my resident wren singing/calling whist saying in my cherry blossom tree 😊 amazing sound.
To quote Disney Princess Cinderella "Sing sweet nightingale"
I'm not lucky enough to live in a Nightingale Area. I'm in Wales. The Song Thrush has almost as beautiful a song though.
❤❤❤
What a fantastic crackin little species . Being 35 and having achieved as much as you have Joel its a pride for me to say i know you . Btw 20th of April i turned 21 that day . I hope to do as much for nature as you have if not more , by the time i turn 35
Hey Ameed, thank you so much for this - I know with your attitude, education and thoughtfulness you will succeed - congratulations on reaching 21! I hope I can make it to Kashmir before you are 23 ;) Stay safe and happy, keep in touch - best wishes to you and yours, Joel
Again, many thanks - unfortunately true nightingales don't make it this far North, although I have spent a good few hours listening to thrush nightingales - not the real thing but a good Northern substitute.
Phone in sick man.

What is the bird at 1:15? Is it a Chiffchaff? It’s making me think of Dr Alan Statham from Green Wing😆
Ich gebe einen Hinweis auf das schöne deutsche Weihnachtslied "Lieb Nachtigall, wach auf!" Man kann es mit originalem Nachtigallengesang hören: th-cam.com/video/eOXGahcY9mI/w-d-xo.html
A German carol "Dear nightingale, wake up!" with original nightingale chant.
