[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Golden Oriole is the only member of the oriole family of passerine birds to breed in northern hemisphere temperate regions. It is a summer migrant to Europe and western Asia, wintering in the tropics. Per Wikipedia Golden Oriole is "shy, and even the male is remarkably difficult to see in the dappled yellow and green leaves of the canopy" therefore I can say that I was very lucky that I took this shot. Hope you'll like it.

Hello Szymon,
Welcome to TN!
Indeed you were lucky to be able to take a fine shot of a male Golden Oriole calling with good sharpness and light management against a blue sky.
I have been trying for a long time to take a shot like this of one the few that come to Sweden, so I say well done and thanks for sharing this!
Regards, Ivan
