This metallic glass print focuses on a Spangled Drongo resting on a pale, lichened branch, its sleek silhouette cut against creamy bokeh. Up close the plumage glows with a glossy midnight-blue sheen, tiny turquoise spangles dusting the chest while the long tail drops in an elegant fork. A ruby eye gives the bird a jewel-like intensity, and the surrounding leaves frame it with soft light.
Photographed in Eungella National Park near Broken River in mid spring, the Spangled Drongo is Australia’s only drongo. Agile and bold, it hawks insects in mid-air, often returns to favourite feeding trees, and is a talented mimic that borrows calls from other species. This metallic glass print keeps that poised, 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 bright red eye, the distinctive forked tail, and the metallic blue gloss across wing and spangled chest reveal a creature far from ordinary. It is refined, dramatic, and quietly captivating.
