Title: Drongos
Post by Yi_Gou on Sep 3^rd, 2006, 8:56pm

There are a lot of drongos around on Lamma at the moment with stubby and/or castellated tails. Would these be immature black drongos? Two typical photos:

There's a lot of Hair-crested jizz about the first one to me.

Not so sure about the second one.

I guess Black is much the commoner of the two on Lamma at this time of year, or probably at all times of year.
