India! Ashy Drongo

Ashy Drongo: Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India, March 2023 — On our last morning in Keoladeo, we took a longish hike back trough the heavy thickets between the road and the marsh in hopes of a roosting owl. No owl, or at least not the one we were looking for, but we did encounter a number of other interesting birds, including this Ashy Drongo, our first and only one for the trip. Though some of us tried to turn it into the more common and more likely White-bellied Drongo in hindsight…I am pretty sure, from both the photo and the habitat, that it is an Ashy. 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 800 @ f4 @ 1/500th. +1EV.
