NIGHTINGALES' NESTS
Antalya is known for its oranges. Wherever they are grown in abundance, the blossoms are distilled into orange flower water. This fragrant liquid flavors the syrup that is drizzled over these nut-filled spiral phyllo pastries. The name comes from their shape and the notion that some people's idea of heaven is listening to nightingales. Serve them with strawberries and whipped cream for an elegant presentation. Orange flower water is a flavoring extract which is available at liquor stores and in the liquor or specialty foods sections of some supermarkets nationwide.

Steps:
- Combine sugar and water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice and boil until mixture is syrupy, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons orange flower water.
- Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. (Syrup and filling can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover separately and store at room temperature.)
- Cover phyllo with dry towel, then damp towel. Let stand 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 2 large baking sheets. Place 1 phyllo sheet with long side parallel to edge of work surface; keep remaining phyllo sheets under towels. Brush half of phyllo lengthwise with butter. Fold in half lengthwise. Brush phyllo with butter. Sprinkle 4 teaspoons and mixture in narrow strip 1/2 inch from folded edge of pastry, leaving 1/2-inch border at short ends. Fold long 1/2-inch border over filling. Fold short ends over filling, then roll up lengthwise as for jelly roll, leaving 2 inches of unfilled pastry exposed. Starting from 1 short end, roll pastry loosely as for jelly roll. Tuck 2-inch pastry edge under and toward center, forming bottom of nest and flattening slightly. Place bottom side down on prepared sheet. Repeat filling and rolling with remaining phyllo sheets.
- Bake pastries until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes. Cool pastries on baking sheets on racks 5 minutes. Using metal spatula, loosen pastries from sheets. Drizzle each pastry with 1 tablespoon syrup. Cool completely. (Pastries can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with foil and store at room temperature.)
- Arrange pastries on plates. Sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons pistachios. Drizzle with remaining syrup.

- Why do nightingales sing at night? Male nightingales that sing throughout the night are thought to be single birds, trying to serenade migrating females down as they fly over.
- When do nightingales arrive in spring? The date when nightingales arrive in the UK is getting significantly earlier, probably due to climate change. For example, the average first nightingale record in Sussex during 1962-93 was 13 April but in 2006-15 was 4 April.
- Do male and female nightingales sing? The nightingale and its song is often quoted in literature and poetry as a metaphor for love, beauty and for poetry itself.
- Where do nightingales nest? You might expect a nightingale - a bird of thickets and woodland - to nest in trees, but it builds its nest on or just above ground level.
- Where do nightingales go in winter? In 2009, for the first time, some British nightingales were fitted with tiny geolocators. One was re-caught in the UK in 2010, revealing its 4828km outwards journey to wintering grounds in Guinea, West Africa.
- What do nightingales eat? Nightingales feed mainly on insects, mainly through foraging on the ground, and in particular are partial to ants and beetles.
- Are nightingales getting rarer? Nightingales are estimated to have declined by 90 per cent in the last 50 years, thought to be due to a mix of factors, including climate change but also increased numbers of deer nibbling away all the dense woodland understorey, which the nightingales need to feed and nest in (see fact 4!).
- What threats do nightingales face? As well as the large-scale issues listed above, nightingales have also faced other threats in the past. In the 19th century, birdcatchers caught large numbers of nightingales for the cagebird trade to try and 'capture' its song.
- The first song on the radio. The first ever live radio broadcast of birdsong was of a nightingale in 'concert' with the cellist, Beatrice Harrison, on 19 May 1924 in Oxted, Surrey.
- What makes a nightingale's song so special? Nightingales have an astonishingly rich repertoire, able to produce over 1000 different sounds, compared with just 340 by skylarks and about 100 by blackbirds.
