THE DRONGO COMETH

A noted  wildlife  carer  has reported  the first sighting of  a  Spangled  Drongo - a sign that "winter" has  arrived  on Magnetic Island . It  came as  islanders  were rugged up in  a  cold  and wet  spell. While walking along a beach this morning , this  jumper  wearing   writer spotted  a  Spangled  Drongo  sitting on a powerline  and  managed to get  home only slightly  damp as more rain swept in. For those who do not know, drongo  is  an expressive  Australian  slang  word  for  an  idiot.
