I visted the Garden early this morning but could neither see nor hear the Golden Oriole.  I did however briefly see ashrike that i had seen yesterday, but as yet I haven't had a good enough view to identify the species.

I noticed the sparrows were taking nestig material into the holes under the small pavilions (see pic below) and I also saw one pair displaying.  Another pair are utilising a crack in the garden wall.

I was talking to a local and he asked if I had seen the parrots! I know they do get Rose-ringed here, so I should catch up with them eventually.  More time in the field is the answer.  Attached is my first pic of an obliging Common Myna.
