| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The Black-headed Oriole (Oriolus larvatus) is an Indian passerine. It has a very striking appearance with a bright yellow body, contrasting black head and flesh-coloured beak.
It inhabits dry tropical forests, especially acacia and broad-leaved woodlands, and dense shrubland areas, where it is more often heard than seen despite the brightness of its plumage.
The voice is a liquid-sounding warble, accompanied by imitations and whistles.
It forages in the canopy, feeding on small fruit as well as large insects. The young are fed mostly with caterpillars. |

Hi Satya,
a first class composition with wonderful colours and lighting. You have a slight halo from adjusting the levels here i think, but nothing distrating really...great shot, well done!

Hello Satya,
A very pleasing capture of a Black-headed Oriole taken from a great POV, in a fine pose and set in an excellent composition against a blue sky.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Ivan
Dear Satya,
Thank you for your kind words on my recent picture. I appreciate your critique.
The eye of the Oriole has been beautifully captured with a lively catch-light in it. Of course, the entire bird looks very charming from the rear.
Thanks and regards.
Ram
