| Remarks : | This may have behavioural significance as we noticed on several occasions Drongos (Dicrurus sp.) appearing to loiter around the rock bee honeycombs. I expected to see some antagonism between these birds but they sat very close together without hostile interaction in close proximity to the bees. - SDG |
