A beautiful Oriole and a beautiful capture of it Ed!

Wonderful Image Of This Lovely Oriole Ed, Well Done Tfs!!!!!!!
All The Best
Sue & Simon,

Lovely vivid colours, Ed. I agree, sitting in the garden listening to bird song is wonderfully relaxing.

superb photo, Ed, I agree with you their fluting song is a real pleasure to hear. Never managed a descent photo, they're always hiding in the foliage. top notch, many tfs!!!

I am so frustrated! We've just had two of them fly past while we were on our walk, and they flew into a medium sized tree at the end of a natural hedge about 100 feet away. Super, I thought, as i had my camera on its monopod at hand.
It's like they just went 'poof!' and disappeared. I looked and looked but nothing. I've never understood how they, with all the camouflage of a giant wasp, can just disappear in foliage. In flight they stick out like sore thumbs.
A red deer hind came out of the bush behind us and just stood there watching us for a few minutes while I scoured the tree. She probably thought there was something wrong 'up there'...

LOL Ed.... been there, done that.... stood under numerous trees knowing there's a bird there but can't see it!!

I'm jealous... want a picture like this. All I've ever seen is a female flying after a Red-backed Shrike! That was good though.

A super picture - very well done laddie.

Wonderful capture and picture of this striking species. TFS ED!
