Tdgraves less big year 2018

[Peter Connan]

Never seen a Puffback, and lovely open shot on the Black-headed Skulker!

[Tdgraves]

Thanks @Peter Connan puffbacks are very common in knp. It was our best ever oriole sighting. We did actually see lots of them this trip, but usually flying over the road into the undergrowth, so I was very pleased that this one was too busy eating to be interested in us!
