Singing Honeyeater

Another from the Foggy Morning.
Time for this Singing Honeyeater to dry out a bit.
The African Darter (Anhinga rufa), also known as the Snakebird, is an animal unique to sub-Saharan Africa. It is known for its very long neck and its unique swimming style. The African Darter gets the nickname "Snakebird" because it swims similar to the way a snake slithers. Its head is above water while swimming, which is a different style from many birds worldwide. The African Darter is typically found in tropical wetlands, and they spend a lot of time sitting beside bodies of water, particularly in areas where mangroves are prominent. The African Darter is fond of shallow, still waters and usually swims with its head above water. Unlike many birds, the feathers of the African Darter are not waterproof, and the bird must dry its feathers before taking flight. For the most part, these birds lead a sedentary lifestyle. These birds are fairly large, with a body size reaching close to 80 centimeters and weight close to 1.4 kgs.
Since the African Darter spends a lot of time in and around shallow bodies of water, its diet is composed primarily of amphibious animals. They mainly eat fish, frogs, crustaceans, or molluscs. These birds are able to eat fish and other foods from either saline or freshwater environments.
This beautiful African Darter was photographed singing on a late evening boat ride on Lake Baringo, Kenya.
Yesterday we had rare day of sunshine and the robins sang! (I love the little patch of white under the Robin's beak!)
One of our earliest spring warblers to arrive, the chiffchaffs distinctive repetitive song can be heard in woods or parks wherever trees abound. This Chiffchaff was singing constantly from the top of a small hedge,not far from my home and he didn't seem too worried by my standing just a few feet away.
Taken in Devon today.
Dark-eyed Junco. Such a delightful concert I had the pleasure to enjoy! Standing lightly on the edge of a Calla Lily, head back, this Junco gave a standout performance. I took it's photo, then just stood and enjoyed his performance. Only afterward did I think I should have taken a video of it. You'll just have to take my word, it was really good!

Singing Honeyeater "is relatively common and is widespread right across Australia west of the Great Dividing Range, through to the west coast and on Western Australian coastal islands. It does not occur in other countries." (Wikipedia)
I do not come across this species very often and this is only my second capture of this bird published on Flickr. I had a few long sessions with the Singing Honeyeaters of Sorrento several weeks ago. This is the closest I could get to one of them: subject distance 2.99 m. I still wonder how I managed to focus my 500mm lense the head. I could not step back withouth falling off the slope...

We were pleasantly surprised to find a Singing Honeyeater (Gavicalis virescens) in the central park of Mitiamo, a small town near Terrick Terrick, central Victoria, Australia. The Honeyeater was constantly moving and calling to another nearby bird, but paused for a moment in the shade of a Eucalypt for this photo.
My second favorite place in China after Jingpeng was Singing Sands. The railway was only a few years old when I first went in November 1999 as the railway skirted the edge of the Gobi Desert. A morning passenger train with a QJ heads south towards Dongcheng.
