So fabulous to watch and see my first Golden Oriole in Shetland this evening with Jim Nicholson and Larry Dalziel in the "Old Garden" at Tresta. What a fabulous garden this is, looks so good for a Red-flanked Bluetail! The Golden Oriole was very mobile and didn't sit still for long – perfect setting for it to be in – beautiful bird and garden.
