Mikepércs: Golden Oriole

 

It's a sunny morning. A female blackcap arrives for a morning bath at the pool, ...:

... the water droplets are sparkling:

A spotted flycatcher appears nearby ...:

... to land at the pool. At the same time arrives the blue tit. Its small in size but big in bravery. It bundles off the bigger flycatcher:

As soon as the blue tit finishes the bath the flycatcher returns:

Later a male chaffinch lands singing happily:

The flute-like song of the golden orioles can be heard frequently but one can see them more seldom. This time however they are flying to-and-fro nearby, one of them even lands on a branch opposite to me.Unfortunately he's a bit behind the leaves and after a short time he flies away ... but only to return on the same branch and this time he's absolutely visible:
