Black Drongo

An adaptable medium-sized songbird of open areas and a common sight as a familiar dark silhouette perched on wires, fences, or snags. Uniform black plumage flashes blue and green iridescence in favorable light. A pugnacious species, frequently chasing away larger birds with repeated dives and harsh chattering calls. A skilled mimic of other species, and a strong songster in general, delivering a wide range of pleasant fluty calls, harsh chattering, nasal notes, and high sharp whistles.

The Godavari Mugger

Where the Godavari breathes, ancient Muggers glide through shadows of gold & grit. A haunting prayer for a future where they don’t just endure, but truly belong. 🐊✨

Muggers in the Godavari are surviving, not adapting. Pollution & mining threaten these ancient reptiles. We owe them a future, not a struggle.
