Beautiful photo, great colours.

Why do people call others "Drongo " sometimes? Please enlightened me.Is it insulting to the bird or the people??

Well, it is an old-fashioned slang term for an idiot or fool... But if I was being compared to this lovely Bird I would hardly complain.

Spectacular dorsal shot Kev, you've caught that sheen really beautifully and kept so much detail in those glossy blacks.  That beak is certainly designed for some serious bark shredding!

I was watching one of these this morning and only wishing i could get a shot like this .... lovely capture of that metallic sheen that they have Kevinj... the soft lighting has enabled it to show well
