Good morning. A male golden oriole was heard singing and calling intermittently in the western edge of West Wood (the furthest poplar plantation) yesterday afternoon and evening. We have been out listening since first light this morning and unfortunately, we haven't heard anything yet. However, hopefully it will stick around and a female will appear as well!

I can't resist a sharing a few lovely pictures of these stunning birds that were taken here a couple of years ago so here we are:

We will keep you posted about any further sightings as soon as possible.
