Australasian Darter

Anhinga novaehollandiae

 

A bit of drama after shooting this good old darter "aka snake head". I went further back to prepare for a flight shot and on the same rocks I hopped 5 minutes ago

I see two Eastern Brown Snakes (highly venomous and responsible for more deaths than all snakes put together in Australia) infront of me and one hissed me so I had to change direction but there another 2 metre to my to my left is another third little Eastern brown. So I walk back the way towards the darter and get to a better position to get a shot of the 3rd and previous one that hissed me but the third little one makes his escape but the one that hissed me holds his ground and lets me take a few shots then takes up a nice raised position watching my every move. See next set for more Eastern Brown Sanke photo's coming.
