The Spangled Drongo is a medium-sized black bird with a long, forked tail that curves slightly upward at the tips. Found across northern and eastern Australia, this bird is easily recognised by its glossy black plumage with iridescent blue-green highlights and vivid red eyes. Its slightly hooked bill and confident, acrobatic behaviour make it a captivating sight in both urban and natural landscapes.
