A 'Black-headed Oriole' enjoying a ripe mango fruit.

The 'Black-headed oriole' - 'Kaha kurulla' - 'maambalak kuruvi' - enjoys a ripe mango when it sees one. I took this picture from the window of my neighbour Piyal Romawardena's house.

A frequent visitor to my garden at Avissawella. They are difficult to photograph because they flit from flower to flower very fast.
