This morning i went to my local patch here since someone told me he had heard a Golden Oriole. So i went there and also heard it but didn't see it. I did see a lot of blackbirds, great tits and thrushes. As well a Squirrel and not to forget a zillion mosquitos, since i was wearing shorts, something i always forget: never wear shorts in summer when going to a forest with bodies of water...
Well, that was a long post, i hope you enjoyed reading it!
