Not far from my base are some Gardens, these are generally used for relaxing having a coffee etc. Though not very big, they are interspersed with trees and have a water feature at the centre.  I knew this would probably be my best bet for new species and will endeavour to visit this site regularly early morning, now that I am over my jetlag and the initial onslaught of a new job.  This morning, an early morning visit was rewarded with the sight of a beautiful yellow bird, a Golden Oriole Oriolus oriolus.  I had heard the distinctive call for a few days so was determined to get a good view, I was helped by a gentleman who watched the same bird every morning and pointed out the various trees which the bird frequented. I told him I would be back tomorrow with my camera.  On the way back I had another surprise two Black-billed Magpies Pica pica. These were in a tree not far from my work so I probably had been unlucky not to see them earlier.  Another couple of species, lets hope the trend continues.
