Someone's barking up the wrong tree (Dicrurus leucophaeus salangensis / Psittacula alexandri)

Of all the trees in this park, this innocent Red-breasted parakeet decided to land on this open tree where a busy Ashy Drongo was perching patiently waiting for the next aerial sally towards the dragonfly swarm below.

One of them's gonna have to leave, and it ain't gonna be the Drongo.
