Eurasian Golden Oriole
One from my recent trip to Ranthambhore in India. I certainly took a lot more bird images here than my earlier trip to Bandhavgarh. I think that the summer heat and the resulting lack of foliage helped, plus the fact that there is a lot more water at Ranthambhore.

I've only seen one once, and then at the far side of a very large field, so congratulations simply for getting this close! I love that red iris, which contrasts well with the yellow and black.

Hi Bob,

Stunning colors and eye on this bird as said by Keith and David.
I might be tempted to clone out the light colored circle in front of the bird.

greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Awesome looking bird, love that super red eye. Wish we could this close to Orioles in the UK. Works for me as posted, Bob.
