Observation details
Spotted a black drongo with a kill. Not sure if it hunted or picked an injured/dead bird. By the time we spotted it we saw it holding the motionless bird with its legs and struggling to fly. We spent some time watching it move from one tree to another as we tried to get closer. It plucked the feathers of the bird and eating it. No tail seen of the prey bird and we speculated it could be a young tailor bird that is shedding feathers or lost tail? After trying twice to get closer we didn't follow the bird so it can eat in peace.
