This Black-headed Oriole did make an attempt to vacate the vicinity when he realised I was trying to get photos of the flowers….
“Where did that bothersome man with a camera go? Can’t get any peace in the park anymore..”
“Damn there he is again… I’ll stick that camera where the sun don’t shine if he doesn’t push off..”

Stunningly beautiful capture of a gorgeous bird.
It is beautiful. I agree…
Super photos BD!!!
funny commentary!
Thanks.. I try..
lol….he wants to be a star and be shown off to the world….so glad he got in your way. Great photos. Much better than plain old flowers :))) hehe
Sam
Could not agree with you more… I do shoot flowers but far prefer it if there’s a bird in the way…
I suspect he was secretly quite keen to be in a shot and get a special post in his honour. If I were that beautiful I also fancy myself as a supermodel. 🙂 Lovely pics.
Thanks for the look in… yes hes a beauty, never though of that maybe all the birds are saying “here he comes the super model maker”… Wonder what I have to do to get beautiful women to pose for me???? lol
These photographs are great and so lovely bird… How I love your bird photography. Thank you dear Rob, love, nia
Thanks Nia.. it is one of my favourites…
So interesting about the Aloe!! You are totally a comedian with your narratives bulldog –laughed out loud!! 🙂 Beautiful bird indeed ~ and wonderful photography xo
Thanks Robyn.. those aloes flower in the winter months and are a definite attraction to so many different birds.. it’s a bird magnate…
I have a plant here in the house — remedy for so many things (assuming same plant) … should put some outside and see if the birds visit more 🙂 xo
Robyn it is a wonder plant… our old African people use it for just about everything or ailment, one thing I use it for is skin cancer… works like a charm… might not be the same plant but it will be the same family and that’s good enough…
Wow!! What a gorgeous bird.
Thanks that he is,,
Wow, what brilliant colors! 🙂
Thank you.. they are brilliant .. a good light day as well..
Those aloe flowers are attracting the most colorful birdies! Or maybe the birdies and the aloe flowers are attracting you? 🙂 Great shots.
Its a spot within one of the camp sites where one can alight in safety.. these aloes are planted by the staff and attract the most varied cross section of birds… much to the delight of people like myself…
How beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you……
This beauty has a very striking appearance. Its beak looks very pink. He obviously wasn’t at all phazed by your presence.
Not at all actually, just kept on moving too much for more photos… every time it saw another bird feeding it would chase it, had me running from aloe to aloe…
Certainly keeps you fit. 😉
