    Do you see the fly? There is a fly in its eye. Reminds me of a song and album of "The Alan Parsons Project". I loved to listen to their songs in the 1980s.

    Greater racket-tailed drongo

    they're noisy and seem quite restless, spending most of their time in the darker parts of the forest; only when I saw this one with the sun on him/her, do the blue spangles really show.

    I do not usually see this Drongo clearly. When I called it a day and had packed my scope, this fella perched for so long that I was enticed to set up my tools all over again. Luckily it did not pull my legs so I can share this photo with you.

    Its has a raucous voice and outrageous tail. The racket is formed by the elongated central shaft of the outer tail feathers.

    Greater Racket-Tailed Drongo

    These deep foorest birds are really quite a challenge to photograph. Lack of light is one thing, the blue black colour of the feathers makes it even more difficult to get a correct exposure. So here is another view of this bird.

    Greater Racket-Tailed Drongo

    Quite a difficult bird to photograph, not because it is uncommon, but the dark colour of the feathers makes it difficult, besides it mostly resides in deepest, and darkest corners of the forest. However it does occassionally comes out from the dark. Size: 33 to 35.5 cm.

    Greater racket-tailed drongo and the beetle it help control. We started with no chemicals and then come insects and then birds. Each year we have chemical free cashew nuts enough for our consumption .

    Greater Racket-tailed Drongo

    When I have no bird to photograph I go to this drongo. They are every where, in the summer like now they like the cashew nut trees. They actually help pick up beetles and other insects.

    Greater Racket-tailed Drongo

    I sat quietly in the garden waiting for other birds but this Drongo always came to perch near by and start making call. I have so many pictures of this Drongo and usually will not take their photo. But the way he/she looked at me I thought I should capture it.
