An extremely rare species of Drongo has been spotted in the Kuakata swamp forest after a search spanning two decades. There are fewer than ten records of sighting this bird in the country.
On October 15, an eight-member team of 'BirdingBD Tours' launched an expedition to find birds in Kuakata. On the second day, while taking pictures of drongos in the swamp forest, researchers found this rare short-billed bird.
The bird is 27 to 32 centimeters long and weighs between 44 and 68 grams. Its plumage is glossy black with a relatively broad tail. It feeds on insects, frogs, reptiles, and small birds.
