Only the fifth Spangled Drongo sighting for Canberra & Southern Tablelands region and they are all from early May.

Wonderful images Shorty.
Immature bird with brown rather than bright red iris and white tips to undertail coverts.
Most records to my knowledge from this so called reverse migration/dispersal in May have been immature birds.
