#nightingale

I used Procreate to carefully combine these two coins to make the fictional one above. When I discovered the farthing had a bird on it (a wren), I got the idea to make it a nightingale. And luckily, this German euro coin has a singing nightingale on it.

I really never roll for Permanent servants but Asclepius is story locked and I don’t want to do the story gacha ever, that’s the thing about playing on the original server, you never know when another chance is gonna come. Damn no wonder people waste a lot of money on them, I’ve spent more money in 1 month on JP than I have in 6 months on NA

Nightingale by Tim Melling Via Flickr: I managed to find this recording of a Nightingale singing at the same spot where I took this photograph, but one year earlier: xeno-canto.org/991144 It is a beautiful recording and could even have been of this same bird. The scientific genus is Luscinia, which is Latin for Nightingale, and comes from luctus (lamentation) and cano (sing). Most birds go to sleep at night but the Nightingales continue day and night, but only for a few weeks in spring. There is an old myth that the Nightingale keeps awake by pressing its breast against a thorn as it sings. This one was in good voice but kept itself obscured by vegetation. I had forgotten how skulking and difficult they were as the majority kept hidden in thorn thickets and were heard but never seen.
