Are you a Drongo or are you a Cuckoo? Well, they have decided that you are actually a Cuckoo impersonating a Drongo. This specimen is a juvenile Drongo Cuckoo (Surniculus lugubris), you can tell by the spots on the body which will eventually disappear as they mature. |
 This bird had just caught a caterpillar and was giving it a real bashing against the tree branch before finally swallowing it. |
