Spangled Drongo
Dicrurus bracteatus
(L 11.0-12.6")
Cairns Centenary Lakes
21Oct2016
Only drongo to be found in
Australia...“Drongo” is
Australian slang for “idiot”.
Dicrurus is Greek for forked
tail; bracteatus is Latin for gold
plate.
It’s Drongo days and Drongo nights
As morons play with bigot’s rights
Draped in patriotic rags
Abusive thugs in national flags.
