This metallic glass print settles on a Spangled Drongo poised along a pale, lichened branch, its body carved in sleek shadow and soft forest light. The long, elegant tail drops like a ribbon and the plumage shimmers with dark blue gloss, tiny spangles dusting the chest while a ruby eye glows against the creamy bokeh of leaves.
Photographed in Eungella National Park near Broken River in mid spring, the Spangled Drongo is Australia’s only drongo. Agile and bold, it chases insects on the wing, often returns to favourite feeding trees, and is a gifted mimic that borrows calls from other birds. This metallic glass print preserves that alert, quick-witted presence with crisp detail and luminous depth.
What I love most about this metallic glass print is how a bird some might call plain becomes breathtaking up close. The red eye, the distinctive forked tail, and the metallic blue sheen across wing and spangled chest reveal a creature of quiet drama and elegance. It rewards every lingering look.
