The Ashy Drongo is a sleek, medium-sized bird characterized by its ashy grey plumage, contrasting with its black flight feathers and forked tail. It is an agile aerial hunter, often seen sallying from perches to catch insects. This species is known for its diverse vocalizations and fearless nature.
Where to spot
Widespread across South and Southeast Asia, from Afghanistan to Indonesia and the Philippines. It inhabits open forests, woodlands, plantations, and cultivation with scattered trees, often at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its ash-grey body contrasting with black wings and tail, and its characteristic deeply forked tail. It often perches on exposed branches. Listen for its diverse vocalizations, which include harsh notes, whistles, and mimicry.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours. Resident in much of its range, but some populations are migratory, moving to lower altitudes or more southerly regions during winter.
