A wet bedraggled Spangled Drongo

The Spangled Drongo has glossy black plumage, with iridescent blue-green spots (spangles), a long forked tail and blood red eyes. Spangled Drongos prefer wet forests, but can also be found in other woodlands, mangroves and parks. They tend to avoid more dense forest types and rainforest interiors. The Spangled Drongo is usually seen perched on an open branch or overhead wire, where it awaits a passing insect. Once seen, its prey is pursued in an acrobatic display, and is caught in the drongo's slightly hooked bill. The bird then returns to its perch to eat its victim. They are found along the East coast of Australia and extend as far North as China.

 

Good that they like wet forests because everywhere is wet around here at the time the photo was taken. Not much else to photograph except grey sky.
