Orioles are beautiful birds, exotic and the only species that breeds in the Czech Republic arrives in late spring in May and flies back to warmth in August.
I was delighted when I managed to photograph this African Black-headed Oriole while walking through the Berg-en-Dal campsite in the Kruger National Park.
Campsites are the only way to take photos on foot and this particular one had lots of trees and grassy areas. I've hiked it with a telephoto lens several times.

Žluvy jsou krásní ptáci, exotičtí a jediný druh, který hnízdí v Česku přilétá pozdě na jaře v květnu a v srpnu zase odletí do tepla.
Měl jsem radost když se mi podařilo při procházení kempu Berg-en-Dal v národním parku Kruger nafotit tuto žluvu škraboškovou.
Kempy jsou jediná možnost jak fotit pěšky a zrovna tento měl hodně stromů a travnatých ploch. Prolezl jsem ho s teleobjektivem v roce několikrát.

beautiful birds ❤

Thanks for sharing

So beautiful, this bird is so difficult to find. I heard it several times but I only could take some pictures that are not as good as i liked them to be. I hope I can find it some time soon for a better picture.

Good research, thanks for sharing.

Incredible shot!

I have a special passion for birds and when I have time I try to take captures of them!

excellent work!
