Orioles

At last the Eurasian Golden Orioles are passing through Tudor Creek. I have heard more than I have seen but one female seems to have taken up a stand in the tree nearest the verandah and I hear her discordant cries all day long. The other prominent member of the bird community is a superb Great Sparrow Hawk. Naturally much beleaguered by the crows which doesn't seem to bother him too much. They make sure they don't fly too near to him as he sits on the highest possible tree to preen in the early morning. Hope you all see lots of lovely birds this Christmas.
