Ok...it is a migrant...does it migrate to the UK to be in the UK during summertime?

7. Would it be found on farmland? No
20. Is it a nightingale? No

Er, shouldn't the answer to these two be 'yes'? Thrush Nightingale is common across farmland across this country and it is a nightingale (with a small 'n'). To be honest, there could also be a 'yes' to the garden bird question - occurs in my garden ;)
