Golden Oriole: Heard early pm from roadside by Mick Cunningham. Calling from trees in vicinity of Fox Meadow Farm: seen once, briefly, in flight. Viewing difficult owing to roadside hedge but audible from road again late afternoon but not heard after 4:30 pm.
Again 7pm on the opposite side of the road where it sang regularly for the next hour or so in an oak tree and showed reasonably well before flying back across the road where it was heard to call once more.
Apparently it was first seen nearby in Poffley village in someone's garden that morning so it's been in the area all day.
