Birding Kabul

• Monday, May 26, 2008 - Our resident Oriole

I once again went looking for the Golden oriole and sure enough heard him straight away.  I finally found him high in the top of the tree that he seems too favour.  For such a colourful bird he can be extremely hard to find in the treetop canopy.  I have attached a photo but in the long run I would hope to get a much better image of this beautiful bird.  The highlight of the day was not a bird but an amazing hail storm, after suddenly going dark, a deluge of hail hit our area and lasted for about 10 minutes. The local workers tell me that this is not unusual.
