STILL MORE TO COME.
The other morning I dropped in to Lakenheath RSPB having been up all night checking for Nightingales. The light was amazing, it's good to be out early but I was so wishing I had my paints and my scope with me, alas I only had my bins - didn't want to have anything valuable with me in case the car got broken into while I was out surveying (not that it necessarily would). The upshot was that I was travelling light and not burdened down by anything. The lack of drawing materials meant I had to just use some scrap paper (comp slips with the old BTO logo on), and a biro. The bit of colour was added when I got home.
I did actually see a male Golden Oriole that was singing most of the time. It covered a huge area of woodland - 1km in extent. I never realised one might have such a large territory. But it could be because it has no rivals for territory this year (seemingly), so it can make the most of the available space to advertise its presence.
