what is it?

The thrush nightingale ( Luscinia luscinia ), also known as the sprosser , is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae. It, and similar small European species, are often called chats.
