Drongo in Gloucester NSW

[Penny Brockman <>]

Dear Alan and birding-aussers

I don't know if this is unusual or not but yesterday a Spangled Drongo 
turned up in the gum trees backing my back garden, and this morning a 
tremendous racket brought me out onto the back deck to watch it 
attacking a Kookaburra, calmly sitting on a 8m high branch. The Kooka 
dived to the ground under my mulberry tree, picked up a yellow leaf and 
presumably something alive hidden in the leaf, closely pursued by the 
Drongo and on the sidelines, a Red Wattlebird. Again the Kooka ignored 
this mad screaming black presence and flew off with it, again in close 
pursuit.
Alan - shouldn't Drongoes be further north this time of year?
