Sunday Nature

The black-naped Oriole is 27 cm tall  and has bright yellow plumage with some black on its wings and a pinkish bill.

Its name comes from a black band across its eyes that runs down to its nape (photo #2).

The females have a slightly greener tinge (photo #1).

Their calls are a melodious 'too-diddlyoo' whistle, but they also make harsh rasping noises at times.
