The silhouette of the Greater Racket-tailed
Drongo can be bewitching because of its two long outer tail feathers,
each ending in feathery twist.
This bird gives out a loud metallic call and is known also to mimic perfectly other bird calls. I was indeed alerted to its presence in the open, practically above me,
by its almost deafening call.
I was
told that once upon a time there were more than a pair of these birds in the
nearby Bukit Kiara.
And this is what the bird looks like, glossy dark blue that appears black from afar.
