Drongo

The Drongo is sitting over the open field that is being prepared for cultivation. It is waiting for the worms to come out beneath the earth as that is being filled with water. You can see plenty of them in the villages, around the open fields and in the cities they are often found to be sitting on the overhead electric wires.

The Drongo and the Goat

The drongo ('fingey') is peacefully riding over the goat and the goat does not mind! Beautiful friendship. Drongo is very commonly seen if you go to rural areas. They are found in open areas, around the paddy field, around the lands of cultivation. They are also often seen sitting on the overhead electric wires.
