Broadcaster and artist Anneka Rice spent a lot of time when the country was in Lockdown painting nightingales near her home on the Isle of Wight. Centuries before the poet John Keats heard nightingales in woods on the island. It was maybe this experience which inspired Keats to write his Ode to a Nightingale, singing in a landscape - of beechen green, and shadows numberless, a sentiment also loved by Anneka too.
