	Nightingale - LoveToKnow 1911

		The nestling plumage of the nightingale differs mach from that of the adult, the feathers above being tipped with a buff spot, just as in the young of the redbreast, hedge-sparrow and redstart, thereby showing the natural affinity of all these forms.
		The so-called " Virginian nightingale " is a species of grosbeak; the " Pekin nightingale or " Japanese nightingale " is a small babbler (Liothrix luteus) inhabiting the Himalayas and China, not Japan at all.

	Nightingales
		The Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos), also known as Rufous Nightingale and Common Nightingale, is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae.
		Although it also sings during the day, the Nightingale is unusual in singing late in the evening; its song is particularly noticeable at that time because few other birds are singing.
		The most characteristic feature of the song is a loud whistling crescendo, absent from the song of Thrush Nightingale.

	The Thrush and the Nightingale: Introduction
		The poem's spring opening has close parallels with the first stanza of one of the lyrics in London, British Library, MS Harley 2253, Lenten ys come with loue to toune; and the arguments it uses have some parallels in another lyric from Harley 2253, Weping haueth myn wonges wet.
		The argument is both less skilful and less self-reflexive than the debate between birds in The Owl and the Nightingale.
		The Digby scribe signals the changes of speaker by larger marginal initials at the beginning of stanzas; it is possible, however, that there are also some changes of speaker mid-stanza.
