3 March 2024 George Town : The Birds on the Hill

 


Above is a picture of the Greater Racket Tailed Drongo.  The long tail feathers stretched out a good six inched behind the bird.  It was a good day for birding with five new Lifebirds.  We had already seen the Drongo in Thailand back in 2014 and the Common Hill Myna in Singapore earlier this year.
