Golden Oriole (Bembridge Airfield)


I covered some ground today (May 14th) on a pleasant sunny morning - Bembridge Windmill to Laundry Lane via the 'old sea wall' (Brading Marsh & New Bridge) - and back again. Whilst crossing the airfield on my way back at around 10:25am I heard this Golden Oriole singing and calling from the trees near Brading Marsh. It was vocal for a good half an hour or so (not seen), with an accompanying Blackbird and Cuckoo (background). 



Great Egret - quite a scarcity a decade or so ago - but now resident 

Good numbers of Glanville seen - Ventnor Downs - May 15th
