Another good and interesting shot Paolo ......... you are lucky in the range of colourful birds you get out where you live.

I have only seen one Drongo .... the forked tailed one, (D. adsimilis), quite noisy and forceful birds for their size, again quite common in their range ....... still with a red eye

Thanks for posting and keep them coming as they are always good to see and learn about
