Lessons for the drongo


Lesser Raquet-tailed Drongo :-  Glossy Blue black plumage, outer tail feathers elongated like wire ending in 'raquets', giving the illusion as if the bird is pursued by a pair of bumblebees.  Calls with a variety of whistles and screams, an amazing mimic.

The parent teaches the young bird the song with constant repetition, and you can hear it practising, in the trees.
