at last (Oriolus oriolus)

i got picture of this beauty, usually i see them hiding in the trees, this one was just sitting like that under the tree.

i think he came down looking for a moisture from the grass, the temperate reached 46 c at that time, luckily only for 20 mints and it dropped down quickly to 38 c.

hope you like it.

.... No I don't Doux.... I'm horribly jealous!!!;)

I searched hours for these...staring into the tops of trees where I could hear them and not a sign! Eventually I saw a female chasing off a Red-backed Shrike, but still never seen the beautiful male.

What a wonderful picture you've taken of him my friend - very well done lassie.




..... and you're forgiven:-O
