Spangled Drongo
Sitting on my laundry line, a Spangled Drongo, these beautiful migratory birds visit me for a few months each year. This year a pair of Drongos are visiting and I hope they will have a family before they leave.
Birdlife Australia says "The Spangled Drongo has glossy black plumage, with iridescent blue-green spots (spangles), a long forked tail and blood red eyes. Sexes are similar, but the female is slightly smaller. Occasional white spotting can be seen on the upper wings of both sexes. Young birds are more sooty black without the spangles and the eye is brown. The Spangled Drongo is noisy and conspicuous, usually active, and frequently aggressive to other species."
