Dear RiccardoVallaro In order to make sure that PN provides the accurate information of spottings published on it, I took a liberty to curate your spotting. I changed the ID from Drongo to flycatcher, and provided few keywords and some references. I also included it in corresponding PN Mission, treating African wildlife. This is Southern black flycatcher, a bird from Flycatcher family (Muscicapidae), and a common resident breeder in Southern and Eastern parts of Africa. Hope you don't mind my intervention. Cheers
This is no drongo; drongos have shrike-like beaks; this looks more like a flycatcher's beak or chat's...
That's a beautiful bird, would be nice if you could complete the spotting by filling up the scientific name and if you can describe the habitat as well. :)
