In most places along our itinerary, wherever there was a tree, a telephone line or a post, we found a Fork-tailed drongo, one of Africa's most adaptable birds. I encountered this individual near a water-hole, late in the evening when the light began to disappear (therefore the image is slightly gritty). It is probably a juvenile drongo - the adults usually have an entirely black, shiny plumage. But the characteristic fork-tail is already visible.
