Seen distantly from Mander car park towards north shore. Good luck 🤞🏼

I don’t think anyone would miss her if she wanted to stay at home….

Nice one. The divers must have dropped in sometime this afternoon as they weren’t there this morning on a very flat reservoir.

Not sure it’s a regular site, but the numbers in the county continue to increase and spread.

The “pale” was viewable for a few seconds at a time, so I don’t think it was blinking (and therefore the eyelids). It seemed to come and go with the birds position to the sun, so I assume it was the sun reflecting off the retina. I saw other photos today which seem to confirm a dark eye.

The Indian Golden Oriole is still with BOURC for consideration, so it isn’t published in the latest BBRC report.

Might be the latter!! They have this habit of bouncing when feeding. It’s characteristic of the species but it’s also super fun to watch….
