Spotted
The Bronze Drongo is a small, compact drongo with a noticeably short, shallowly forked tail. Its plumage is a striking iridescent bronzy-green or blue-green sheen, particularly visible in good light. It is an active insectivore, often found in the mid-canopy of forests.
Where to spot
Widespread across South and Southeast Asia, from India to Indonesia and the Philippines. It inhabits tropical moist broadleaf forests, especially evergreen and deciduous forests, often preferring the mid-canopy.
How to spot
Look for its small size, compact build, and short, shallowly forked tail. The key identification feature is its iridescent bronze-green or blue-green gloss, which is best seen in good light. Listen for its high-pitched, often rattling, calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, observable year-round as it is a resident species in most areas. Often seen foraging in the morning and late afternoon.
