Sri Lanka Drongo/කොණ්ඩ කවුඩා/ශ්‍රී ලංකා සිළු කවුඩා [Konda Kawuda/Sri Lanka Silu Kawuda] (Dicrurus lophorinus)

An endemic bird, locally common in tall forests, adjoining woodland habitats, and well-wooded gardens across a range of elevations from the wet lowlands to mid-hills. This drongo is observed either in pairs or small flocks and is primarily insectivorous, specializing in catching flying insects. Its breeding season occurs from April to May, during which it builds a small, cup-shaped nest in the canopy of a tall tree.
