In Victoria: Maybe not elusive (I would call them quite conspicuous), so
much as a rare vagrant (if at all).

Subject: Child. Lit. - Spangled Drongo
The debate of how we get children interested in
birds appears from time to time on birding.aus. To add to
this I came across a review of a book entitled "The
Spangled Drongo", published by the University of Queensland
Press - ISBN 0521599563.
The review reads:
"In this verse novel, eleven year old Sam reveals his tale.
He is obsessed with soccer, and lives with an eccentric
aunt, whose passion is for art and Indian food. Sam's' life
changes when he befriends Jessica, a new neighbour who not
only loves soccer, but spends most her time birdwatching in
the hope of spotting the elusive spangled drongo... It is a
wonderful book for a range of ages."
Sounds fun. Also as a Victorian - how elusive is the
Spangled Drongo?
