Australian Darter

If you’ve been reading here for a while, you know I really like cormorants and darters. Not only are they beautiful, they are smart – what a great combination. This Australian Darter lives at the Australia Zoo. Isn’t he beautiful?

Got birds?

Yes it’s beautiful. It’s my first time to see this kind of bird.

oh. yes, he is beautiful. Especially when spreading its wings like that. Great capture.

Lovely photo and a very typical pose for this bird. I hope you saw cormorants as well.

I did, though at more of a distance so the photos are nothing much.

It is a beautiuful bird. The Darter looks very similiar to the Cormorants. Is it Australia’s vesion of a Cormorants.
