The Ashy Drongo is a winter and passage migrant in Abu. Not a commonly seen species. Eucalyptus tree seems to be their favourite haunt here in Abu.
The adult Ashy Drongo is mainly dark grey, and the tail is long and deeply forked, very similar to the Black Drongo.
The iris is crimson and there is no white rictal spot like that of the Black Drongo.
