Greater Racket-Tailed Drongo

A drongo may not be nice. Nevertheless in a mix flock, this species with its generally aggressiveness tend to be able to fend off raptor including those as big as fish eagle. In other word this provide safety to the mix flock when this species is around. There was already some study to prove this done by great student and good student of some other country in asia.

I have personally seen them defending the group against accipiter and also Grey-headed Fish Eagle.
