Oriental Darter
Oriental Darter has a conservation status of Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List www.iucnredlist.org/search?query=oriental%20darter&se...
This image of an Oriental Darter in flight shows the webbed feet that propel it in its underwater pursuit of fish. The Darter part of the common name suggests the rapidity with which it strikes the prey, impaling it on that long, pointed bill. The extensive range of this species extends from the Indian Subcontinent to Indonesia, but its numbers have been affected by factors including pollution, habitat loss, and disturbance. This bird was seen during a boat trip at the Bueng Boraphet Non-hunting Area, Nakhon Sawan province, Thailand
