Cracking birds...Super capture JJ... Its not many years ago these birds used to breed where I was born, but I dont think they've been back for a few years now.

You said it! Always hidden in the foliage!
But you managed a very decent image here!

Having only seen one, which was in view for less than 10 seconds, I can well imagine the difficulty of getting photographs. Getting decent shots of restlessly flitting warblers and crests would be easier, notwithstanding the larger size and brighter colours of the oriole. Excellent capture JJ.
