The Eurasian Golden Oriole is a stunning migratory songbird found across Eurasia and parts of Africa, renowned for the male's brilliant golden-yellow plumage. It is often elusive despite its bright colors.
Where to spot
Breeds across most of temperate Europe and Asia, migrating to tropical Africa and India for the non-breeding season. Prefers open deciduous woodlands, riverine forests, and orchards.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, flute-like 'wee-la-wee-oh' or 'ori-ole' song, which is often the best way to locate it. Look for the male's brilliant yellow body and black wings; females are duller, often greenish-yellow.
When to spot
Breeding season (spring/summer) in Eurasia; non-breeding season (autumn/winter) in Africa and India. Most vocal in early morning and late afternoon.

Despite its bright plumage, the Eurasian Golden Oriole can be surprisingly difficult to spot as it tends to remain hidden in dense foliage, often only revealed by its distinctive fluty calls.
