How do nightingales migrate

1 Tem Nightingales have long been known to migrate to west Africa, but it is the first time that scientists have proved exactly where they go. The BTO. 1 Nis The Common Nightingale, known for its beautiful song, breeds in Europe and parts of Asia and migrates to sub-Saharan Africa every winter. Until a century ago nightingales could still be found commonly around London. In England, the cocks start singing as soon as they return from migration.
