Oriolus kundoo
This bird is very difficult to spot because of its excellent camouflage. I was drawn to it by its Fluty call.
forest
Due to it's excellent camouflage amongst the leaves, and it's shy nature, the Golden Oriole is an almost impossible Bird to spot. However, it is it's unmistakable song that alerts all around to it's presence, which is said to sound very fluty and can be heard over considerable distances. Their basic calls however are often compared to the screech of a Jay, but both are used to communicate with other Golden Orioles inhabiting the surrounding forest. The Golden Oriole is a migratory and generally quite solitary Bird, but can be seen migrating, often under the cover of night, in large flocks.

The extended eye stripe very clearly differentiates this oriole from the Eurasian Golden Oriole.
