Nice behavior captured. The silhouette of the drongo looks nice. It is quite interesting to see a small bird mobbing a big bird of prey. Thanks for sharing.

Nice record. The drongo's are aggressive birds.

Great capture, I remember my days in Baramati, I used to witness similar incidents and a local friend said this particular behavior of Drongo has made them name the bird 'Kotwal'(Legend...)
