Portrait of an Australasian Darter

This is a photo of an Australasian darter. He was sitting overlooking the lake on a warm sunny morning in Forest Lake, Australia.

 

The Australasian darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) and the Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) are both members of the darter family (Anhingidae) and share many similarities, but they are distinct species.

 

This bird was not ideally placed with the morning sun for photography. As he was not going to move this is the best I could with what I had to work with.
