The river nightingale

On the banks of the Oasi del Frassino, a natural pearl a stone's throw from Lake Garda, dances the mysterious river nightingale, known to bird enthusiasts as Cettia cetti, belonging to the family Cettiidae. Among the bushes bordering the water, this small bird with its brown plumage elegantly blends into the branches, catching the eye with its clear eyebrow and fan-shaped tail, often raised gracefully.

It is a master of the art of camouflage in the wild, so much so that it is difficult to distinguish between male and female. The river nightingale populates the reed beds of the Oasi del Frassino, a refuge for over 160 species of birds, 60 of which nest here thanks to the precious biodiversity preserved with commitment by the Le Ali del Frassino Resort.

Your favourite menu? Larvae, insects and annelids hiding among the lush vegetation.

With its numerous trails and convenient birdwatching stations, the Oasi del Frassino offers an immersive nature experience, ideal for bird lovers and breathtaking views.

If you are in the vicinity, we recommend an early morning or sunset walk: these are the ideal times to observe the fascinating river nightingale in the Frassino Oasis!
