I've been waiting to sight it since the migratory season started and finally found it in the taman, and it was just behind the tree to where I was standing. Fortunately it didn't fly off when I rounded the tree and saw it, that I guessed it had spied the caterpillar and was bidding its time.
The Square-tailed Drongo Cuckoo (Surniculus lugubris) has been a regular here since I first spotted it in 2018. About 24.5 cm, it's not difficult to spot this one and not difficult to approach it especially if it has found a choice hunting ground.

But as soon as it got its catch and finished it, it flew up and scanned again, to fly down to just meters off the ground suggesting there was a caterpillar in one of the undergrowths.
But unfortunately within seconds it was chased off by the resident Oriental Magpie Robin ...
... perhaps the adult was looking out for its juvenile that was flying about.
