    I would go with Black Bird but I'm not 100% sure
    From wiki:

    The first-year male Common Blackbird of the nominate race may start singing as early as late January in fine weather in order to establish a territory, followed in late March by the adult male. The male's song is a varied and melodious low-pitched fluted warble, given from trees, rooftops or other elevated perches mainly in the period from March to June, sometimes into the beginning of July.

    Nightingales arrive in April and sing until late May and early June. They leave again from July to September. They can be heard singing throughout the day, as well as at night.

    I think I'd go for Nightingale as well :T

    and for any birders out there, I'm pleased to say I've had the joy of watching Waxwings daily in my area, they are so beautiful :happyhear
