| The estate is home to a variety of bird life, from breeding common terns, nightingales and tufted ducks to vast numbers of wintering birds, such as wigeon, smew and goosander. |
| Let the light of the burning building scare the nightingales and incarnadine the willows. |

| It doesn't take much to get him on to the subject of the nightingales, otters, barn owls and even notoriously shy bitterns now living alongside the humans at Lower Mill. |
| It is surprising that despite all the pollution, increased lighting and noise, I can still hear the nightingales sing and spot an odd fire fly or two amid the bushes. |
