Indian Golden Oriole

According to the sanctuary officials I must be really lucky to spot this beauty here at this time of the year.
In fact I had already made my mind up to say good bye to Vedanthangal bird sanctuary and all of the sudden this Indian golden oriole showed up from no where & posed for less than 3 minutes but it was all worth it in the end. 🙂
