PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. Thanks. I AM POSTING MANY DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT ON ALL - JUST ENJOY.
Stopped at a common person's house on the way to Novgorod. I think she is better off than most as the house is decorative outside way more than others. There are hundreds of log cabins all along the road made from pine trees but I could not get a decent picture.
Thanks for the comments, faves and visits

In the quiet corners of Gibbs Gardens, a lone crocus makes a bold statement against the muted backdrop of fallen leaves. This stunning photograph captures the vibrant purple petals unfurling to reveal a bright orange stamen, a splash of color that seems to defy the earthy tones around it. The flower's rich hue is a testament to the garden's diversity, showcasing the ability of life to burst forth with exuberance even in the most subdued environments. The image's focus draws the eye to the delicate textures of the petals and the pollen-laden heart, a reminder of the garden's role as a sanctuary for both flora and the unseen fauna that dance from bloom to bloom. The crocus, often one of the first signs of spring, stands here not just as a symbol of new beginnings, but as a beacon of hope and beauty amidst the remnants of seasons past.
All comments regarding this picture, subject, composition, etc are welcome and appreciated. TIA.

Crimson Rosella
Platycercus elegans
Description: There are several colour forms of the Crimson Rosella. The form it is named for has mostly crimson (red) plumage and bright blue cheeks. The feathers of the back and wing coverts are black broadly edged with red. The flight feathers of the wings have broad blue edges and the tail is blue above and pale blue below and on the outer feathers. Birds from northern Queensland are generally smaller and darker than southern birds. The 'Yellow Rosella' has the crimson areas replaced with light yellow and the tail more greenish. The 'Adelaide Rosella' is intermediate in colour, ranging from yellow with a reddish wash to dark orange. Otherwise, all the forms are similar in pattern. Young Crimson Rosellas have the characteristic blue cheeks, but the remainder of the body plumage is green-olive to yellowish olive (occasionally red in some areas). The young bird gradually attains the adult plumage over a period of 15 months
Similar species: The adult Crimson Rosella is similar to male Australian King-Parrots, but differs by having blue cheeks, shoulders, and tail, a whitish, rather than red, bill and a dark eye. Immature Crimson Rosellas also differ from female and immature King-Parrots by having blue cheeks, a whitish bill and a more yellow-green rather than dark green colouring.
Distribution: There are several populations of the Crimson Rosella. Red (crimson) birds occur in northern Queensland, in southern Queensland to south-eastern South Australia and on Kangaroo Island. Orange birds are restricted to the Flinders Ranges region of South Australia, while yellow ones are found along the Murray, Murrumbidgee and neighbouring rivers (where yellow birds meet red birds they hybridise, producing orange offspring). Red birds have been introduced to Norfolk Island and New Zealand.
Habitat: Throughout its range, the Crimson Rosella is commonly associated with tall eucalypt and wetter forests.
Feeding: Crimson Rosellas are normally encountered in small flocks and are easily attracted to garden seed trays. Once familiar with humans, they will accept hand held food. Natural foods include seeds of eucalypts, grasses and shrubs, as well as insects and some tree blossoms.
Breeding: The Crimson Rosella's nest is a tree hollow, located high in a tree, and lined with wood shavings and dust. The female alone incubates the white eggs, but both sexes care for the young. The chicks remain dependent on their parents for a further 35 days after leaving the nest.
Calls: The Crimson Rosella has a range of calls, the commonest being a two-syllabled "cussik-cussik". It also has a range of harsh screeches and metallic whistles.
Minimum Size: 32cm
Maximum Size: 36cm
Average size: 34cm
Average weight: 129g
Breeding season: September to January
Clutch Size: 4 to 8 (usually 5)
Incubation: 20 days
Nestling Period: 35 days

Area around Marina Bay and the Singapore business and financial district.
October 2020.
Black lake, black boat, two black, cut-paper people.
Where do the black trees go that drink here?
Their shadows must cover Canada.
A little light is filtering from the water flowers.
Their leaves do not wish us to hurry:
They are round and flat and full of dark advice.
Cold worlds shake from the oar.
The spirit of blackness is in us, it is in the fishes.
A snag is lifting a valedictory, pale hand;
Stars open among the lilies.
Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens?
This is the silence of astounded souls.

Marraquesh Night Market Loreena McKennitt
They're gathered in circles
the lamps light their faces
The crescent moon rocks in the sky
The poets of drumming
keep heartbeats suspended
The smoke swirls up and then dies
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face, the face of your god
The stories are woven
and fortunes are told
The truth is measured by the weight of your gold
The magic lies scattered
on rugs on the ground
Faith is conjured in the night market's sound
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face, the face of your god
The lessons are written
on parchments of paper
They're carried by horse from the river Nile
says the shadowy voice
In the firelight, the cobra
is casting the flame a winsome smile
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face, the face of your god
Loreena writes in the CD booklet about this song:
March 16, 1993 - Arrived tonight in Marrakesh and am staying on the edge of the market. It is Ramadan and there is heightened activity all around. I am struck by the hooded features of men as they pass through the lights and shadows: they look monk-like. Horses, carriages, cars, bicycles and thousands of people are embroiled in the activities of the night ... a cacophony of sound. I retreat to a rooftop café to watch while sipping mint tea ... many circles of twenty or so people are scattered around the market, each involved in their own drama of music, storytelling monkeys on men's shoulders, or cobras being coaxed to "dance" on rugs; "magic" concoctions of bone, seeds, stones and spices are sold ... women are veiled to a great degree ... I am stuck by the sense of intrigue the environment creates; as much is concealed as is revealed ...

Superb Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus cyaneus
Description: Adult male Superb Fairy-wrens are among the most brightly coloured of the species, especially during the breeding season. They have rich blue and black plumage above and on the throat. The belly is grey-white and the bill is black. Females and young birds are mostly brown above with a dull red-orange area around the eye and a brown bill. Females have a pale greenish gloss, absent in young birds, on the otherwise brown tail. The legs are brown in both sexes. Males from further inland and in the south-west of the range have more blue on the back and underparts.
Similar species: Several other species of fairy-wren are found in Australia. The males of each species are quite distinct, but the females and young birds are often difficult to separate. Of the species that overlap in range with the Superb Fairy-wren, the female White-winged Fairy-wren Malurus leucopterus and Red-backed Fairy-wren M. melanocephalus lacks the chestnut colour around the eye, while the female Variegated Fairy-wren M. lamberti has a dull grey-blue wash. Both the Superb and White-winged Fairy-wrens are similar in size. The Variegated Fairy-wren is slightly larger in size and has a longer tail.
Distribution: Superb Fairy-wrens are found south of the Tropic of Capricorn through eastern Australia and Tasmania to the south-eastern corner of South Australia.
Habitat: Seen in most habitat types where suitable dense cover and low shrubs occur. They are common in urban parks and gardens, and can be seen in small social groups. These groups normally consist of one dominant male and several females and young birds.
Feeding: Superb Fairy-wrens feed on insects and other small arthropods. These are caught mostly on the ground, but may also be taken from low bushes. Feeding takes place in small social groups.
Breeding: The nest is a dome-shaped structure of grasses and other fine material. It is usually placed in a low bush and is constructed by the female. The female incubates the eggs alone, but both sexes feed the young. Other members of the group will also help with the feeding of the young.
Male Superb Fairy-wrens have been labelled as 'the least faithful birds in the world'. Females may be courted by up to 13 males in half an hour, and 76% of young are sired by males from outside the social group.
Calls: The Superb Fairy-wren gives a series of high pitched trills, which are given by both sexes. The male often extends these trills into song.
Minimum Size: 13cm
Maximum Size: 14cm
Average size: 14cm
Average weight: 10g
Clutch Size: Three to four.

Brown Falcon
Falco berigora
Description: Brown Falcons are small to medium-sized raptors (birds of prey). The female is larger than the male. The Brown Falcon has a range of plumage colours, from very dark brown to light brown above and off-white below. Generally, the upperparts are dark brown and the underparts are pale buff or cream. The sides of the head are brown with a characteristic tear-stripe below the eye. Birds from the tropical north are very dark, with a paler face and undertail, while those from central Australia are paler all over. Younger birds resemble dark adults, but have less obvious barring on the tail, and a buff-yellow colour on the face, throat and nape of the neck.
Similar species: Paler birds may often be confused with a related raptor (bird of prey), the Nankeen Kestrel, F. cenchroides, which is quite a bit smaller and has a more rufous crown. Dark Brown Falcons may be mistaken for slightly larger Black Falcon, F. subniger. The Black Falcon has longer legs and lacks barring on the tail. The Black Falcon also appears sleeker in shape and movements.
Distribution: The Brown Falcon ranges throughout Australia, and north to New Guinea.
Habitat: The Brown Falcon is found in all but the densest forests and is locally common throughout its range. The preferred habitat is open grassland and agricultural areas, with scattered trees or structures such as telegraph poles which it uses for perching. Around outback towns, the birds become quite tame and will allow quite close approach. Birds may stay within the same areas throughout the year or may move around locally in response to changes in conditions. Paler birds are usually associated with inland areas, but all the colour varieties are fairly scattered throughout the range.
Feeding: Brown Falcons are usually seen alone, searching for food from an exposed perch. When prey is sighted, the bird swoops down and grasps it in its claws (talons), killing the prey with a bite to the spine. The powerful bill has specialised 'tomial' teeth and matching notches for this purpose. Less often the species will hunt by hovering or gliding over the ground, often at great heights. Brown Falcons feed on small mammals, insects, reptiles and, less often, small birds.
Breeding: The nest used by the Brown Falcon is normally an old nest from another hawk species, but the species may build its own stick nest in a tree. Occasionally birds nest in open tree hollows. Both sexes share the incubation of the eggs, and both care for the young, although the female performs the bulk of these duties, while the male supplies most of the food.
Calls: Normally silent at rest, but gives some cackling and screeching notes when in flight.
Minimum Size: 41cm
Maximum Size: 51cm
Average size: 46cm
Average weight: 530g
Breeding season: June to November in the south; November to April in the north.
Clutch Size: 2 to 6 (usually 3)
Incubation: 30 days
Nestling Period: 45 days

Connue depuis la colonisation romaine pour ses eaux bienfaitrices (restes de thermes romains en ruines), l'antique Rubiacum voit naître Saint-Mars au VIème siècle puis s'établir sa première communauté religieuse au VIIème siècle. La légende raconte qu'une jeune aveugle originaire de Grande-Bretagne fit le voyage jusqu'en Auvergne afin de rencontrer l'évêque de Clermont, Bonetus (connu également sous le nom de Saint-Bonnet, mort en 710). Lui permettant de retrouver la vue, celui-ci lui demanda en échange de fonder un monastère pour femmes. Édifiant une chapelle à l'emplacement de l'actuelle église, la communauté fut remplacé au IXème siècle par une colonie de moines bénédictins. Ceux-ci furent à l'origine de la construction de l'ancienne église romane. Construite à l'époque romane puis modifiée à des fins défensives au début du XIIIème siècle, l'église Saint-Léger fait figure de modèle unique dans une Auvergne où dominent les édifices de style roman et gothique. Même si l'on retrouve quelques exemples de ce type dans la région (comme le bâtiment des mâchicoulis de la cathédrale du Puy-en-Velay, la tour Clémentine à La Chaise-Dieu et des mâchicoulis sur le mur nord de l'église du Montet (03)), c'est surtout dans le Languedoc et en Provence que l'on est habitué à voir ce genre de monuments (cathédrales de Béziers et de Maguelone, église des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer...). Pour trouver l'origine de ces ajouts quasi militaires que sont les mâchicoulis et les créneaux, il faut chercher un élément de réponse dans le conflit qui opposa les moines de l'abbaye de Mozac au comte d'Auvergne Guy II (mort en 1224). Voulant se protéger d'une éventuelle attaque surprise, les moines entreprirent la construction d'un système défensif faisant le tour de l'édifice. Ne conservant que les fenêtres basses et le cordon de billette qui les surmonte, ils supprimèrent la plupart des éléments décoratifs (corniche à modillons) ainsi que la toiture.

Known since the roman colonization for its water donors (the remains of roman thermal baths ruins), the ancient Rubiacum born Saint-Mars in the Sixth century and then to establish its first religious community in the Viith century. The legend tells of a young blind native of Great Britain, made the journey to Auvergne in order to meet with the bishop of Clermont, Bonetus (also known under the name of Saint-Bonnet, who died in 710). Enabling him to retrieve the view, they asked him in exchange to found a monastery for women. Building a chapel on the site of the current church, the community and was replaced in the Ninth century by a colony of benedictine monks. These were at the origin of the construction of the old romanesque church. Built in the romanesque period and then changed to defensive purposes at the beginning of the Thirteenth century, the church Saint-Léger is a unique model in a Auvergne is dominated by the buildings of the romanesque and gothic styles. Even if we find a few examples of this type in the region (such as the building of the battlements of the cathedral of le Puy-en-Velay, the tower Clementine in La Chaise-Dieu and of the battlements on the north wall of the church of Montet (03)), it is mostly in the Languedoc and in Provence that one is accustomed to see this kind of monuments (the cathedrals of Beziers and of Maguelone, the church of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer...). To find the origin of these additions, quasi-military, as are the machicolations and battlements, it is necessary to seek a response element in the conflict which opposed the monks of the abbey of Mozac in the count of Auvergne, Guy II (d. 1224). Wanting to protect against a possible surprise attack, the monks began the construction of a defensive system making the tour of the building. Keeping only the low windows, and the cord of billet which overcomes, they removed most of the decorative elements (cornice modillions), as well as the roof.

Bekannt seit der römischen besiedlung für seine kristallklaren wasser und wohltäter (reste von römischen thermen in ruinen), die alte Rubiacum entstehen Saint-Mars im Sechsten jahrhundert und sich um seine erste religiöse gemeinschaft, die im Siebten jahrhundert. Die legende erzählt, dass eine junge blinde aus Großbritannien machte die reise in die Auvergne, um ein treffen mit dem bischof von Clermont, Bonetus (auch bekannt unter dem namen Saint-Bonnet, tod in 710). Ihm zur rückkehr in die ansicht, dieser fragte im gegenzug zu gründen, ein kloster für frauen. Aufbau einer kapelle an der stelle der heutigen kirche, in der gemeinschaft ersetzt wurde im Neunten jahrhundert von einer kolonie der benediktiner-mönche. Diese waren ursprünglich für den bau der alten romanischen kirche. Gebaut in der epoche der romanik und geändert für defensive zwecke am anfang des Xiii jahrhundert, die kirche Saint-Léger gehört zu den einzigartigen modell in der Auvergne, wo dominieren die bauten der romanik und gotik. Auch wenn man einige beispiele dieser art in der region (wie das gebäude von den pechnasen der kathedrale von le Puy-en-Velay, der turm Clementine in La Chaise-dieu und pechnasen auf der nördlichen wand der kirche Montet (03)), vor allem im Languedoc und in der Provence, die man gewohnt ist zu sehen, welche art von gebäude (kathedralen von Béziers und von Maguelone, kirche von Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer...).

Conocido desde la colonización romana de su agua de los donantes (los restos de termas romanas ruinas), la antigua Rubiacum nacido en Saint-Mars en el siglo vi y, a continuación, establecer su primera comunidad religiosa en el siglo Vii. La leyenda cuenta la historia de una joven ciega nativo de Gran Bretaña, hizo el viaje a la región de Auvernia en el fin de reunirse con el obispo de Clermont, Bonetus (también conocido bajo el nombre de Saint-Bonnet, quien murió en el año 710). Lo que le permite recuperar la vista, se le pidió en cambio para fundar un monasterio para mujeres. La construcción de una capilla en el sitio de la actual iglesia, la comunidad y fue sustituido en el siglo Ix por una colonia de monjes benedictinos. Estos estaban en el origen de la construcción de la antigua iglesia románica. Construido en la época romana y luego se cambió a fines de defensa en el comienzo del siglo Xiii, la iglesia de Saint-Léger es un modelo único en una región de Auvernia está dominado por los edificios de los estilos románico y gótico. Incluso si nos encontramos con un par de ejemplos de este tipo en la región (tales como la construcción de las almenas de la catedral de le Puy-en-Velay, la torre Clementina en La Chaise-Dieu y de las almenas en el muro norte de la iglesia de Montet (03)), es sobre todo en la región de Languedoc y la Provenza que uno está acostumbrado a ver este tipo de monumentos (las catedrales de Beziers y de Maguelone, la iglesia de Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer...). Para encontrar el origen de estas adiciones, cuasi-militar, como son los matacanes y almenas, es necesario buscar un elemento de respuesta en el conflicto que opuso a los monjes de la abadía de Mozac en el conde de Auvernia, Tipo II (d. 1224). El querer proteger en contra de un posible ataque por sorpresa, los monjes comenzaron la construcción de un sistema defensivo de hacer el recorrido por el edificio. Manteniendo sólo el bajo windows, y el cable de tocho que supera, se ha eliminado la mayoría de los elementos decorativos (cornisa de modillones), así como el techo.

Bekend sinds de romeinse kolonisatie voor de water-donoren (de overblijfselen van de romeinse thermische baden ruïnes), de oude Rubiacum geboren Saint-Mars in het Zesde eeuw en vervolgens tot de oprichting van het eerste religieuze gemeenschap in de Drie eeuw. De legende vertelt van een jonge blinde inwoner van Groot-Brittannië, maakte de reis naar de Auvergne om te voldoen aan de bisschop van Clermont, Bonetus (ook bekend onder de naam Saint-Bonnet, die stierf in 710). Het inschakelen van hem voor het ophalen van het uitzicht, vroegen ze hem in ruil om een klooster te stichten voor vrouwen. Het bouwen van een kapel op de plaats van de huidige kerk, de gemeenschap en werd vervangen in de Negende eeuw door een kolonie van de benedictijner monniken. Deze werden aan de oorsprong van de constructie van de oude romaanse kerk. Gebouwd in de romaanse periode en dan veranderd naar defensieve doeleinden aan het begin van de Dertiende eeuw, de kerk van Saint-Léger is een uniek model in de Auvergne wordt gedomineerd door de gebouwen van de romaanse en gotische stijlen. Zelfs als we een paar voorbeelden van dit type in de regio (zoals het gebouw van de kantelen van de kathedraal van le Puy-en-Velay, de toren Clementine in La Chaise-Dieu en van de kantelen op de noordelijke muur van de kerk van Montet (03)), wordt voornamelijk in de Languedoc en in de Provence dat men is gewend om te zien dit soort monumenten (de kathedralen van Béziers en van Maguelone, de kerk van Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer,...). Aan de oorsprong van deze toevoegingen, quasi-militaire, net als de machicolations en kantelen, is het noodzakelijk om te zoeken naar een antwoord element in het conflict dat tegen de monniken van de abdij van Mozac in de graaf van Auvergne, Guy II-d. 1224). Willen beschermen tegen een mogelijke verrassing aanval, de monniken begonnen met de bouw van een defensieve maken van de rondleiding van het gebouw. Het houden van alleen de lage ramen, en het koord van het de staaf die overwint, die ze verwijderd van de meeste van de decoratieve elementen (kroonlijst modillions), evenals het dak.

Noto fin dalla colonizzazione romana per le sue acque donatori (i resti delle terme romane rovine), l'antica Rubiacum nato a Saint-Marte nel Sesto secolo, e quindi di stabilire la sua prima comunità religiosa, nel Vii secolo. La leggenda narra che un giovane cieco nativo della Gran Bretagna, ha fatto il viaggio di Auvergne, per incontrare il vescovo di Clermont, Bonetus (anche conosciuto sotto il nome di Saint-Bonnet, che morì nel 710). Che gli permette di recuperare la vista, gli hanno chiesto in cambio di fondare un monastero per le donne. La costruzione di una cappella sul luogo dell'attuale chiesa, la comunità ed è stato sostituito nel Ix secolo da una colonia di monaci benedettini. Questi sono stati all'origine della costruzione della vecchia chiesa romanica. Costruito nel periodo romanico e poi modificati per scopi difensivi, all'inizio del Xiii secolo, la chiesa di Saint-Léger è un modello unico in Auvergne è dominato da edifici in stile romanico e gotico. Anche se si trova un paio di esempi di questo tipo nella regione (ad esempio la costruzione di parapetti della cattedrale di le Puy-en-Velay, la torre Clementina a La Chaise-Dieu e della merlatura sulla parete nord della chiesa di Montet (03)), è per lo più nella regione della Linguadoca e della Provenza che uno è abituato a vedere questo tipo di monumenti (cattedrale di Beziers e di Maguelone, la chiesa di Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer,...). Per trovare l'origine di queste aggiunte, para-militare, come sono le caditoie e i merli, è necessaria la ricerca di un elemento di risposta nel conflitto che oppone i monaci dell'abbazia di Mozac in il conte di Alvernia, Guy II (d. 1224). Volendo proteggere contro un possibile attacco a sorpresa, i monaci iniziarono la costruzione di un sistema difensivo di fare il giro dell'edificio. Mantenere solo la bassa di windows, e che il cavo di billet che supera, hanno rimosso la maggior parte degli elementi decorativi (cornice a modiglioni), così come il tetto.

Conhecido desde a colonização romana para a sua água doadores (os restos de termas romanas ruínas), o antigo Rubiacum nascido em Saint-Mars no Sexto século e, em seguida, para estabelecer a sua primeira comunidade religiosa da Viith século. A lenda fala de um jovem cego nativos da Grã-Bretanha, fez com que a viagem para Auvergne, a fim de se encontrar com o bispo de Clermont, Bonetus (também conhecido sob o nome de Saint-Bonnet, que morreu em 710). Capacitando-o a recuperar a vista, perguntaram-lhe em troca de fundar um mosteiro para mulheres. A construção de uma capela, no local da atual igreja, a comunidade e foi substituído no século ix, por uma colônia de monges beneditinos. Estes estiveram na origem da construção da antiga igreja românica. Construído no românico e, em seguida, mudou para fins defensivos, no início do século Xiii, a igreja de Saint-Léger é um modelo exclusivo em Auvergne é dominada por edifícios de estilo românico e o gótico. Mesmo se encontramos alguns exemplos deste tipo na região (como a construção de ameias da catedral de Puy-en-Velay, a torre Clementina em La Chaise-Dieu e das ameias na parede norte da igreja de Montet (03)), é, sobretudo, no Languedoc e em Provence, que é acostumado a ver este tipo de monumentos (as catedrais de Beziers e de Maguelone, a igreja de Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer...). Para encontrar a origem desses acréscimos, quase militar, como são os machicolations e ameias, é necessário buscar um elemento de resposta no conflito que opôs os monges da abadia de Mozac em o conde de Auvergne, Guy II (d. 1224). Querendo proteger contra um possível ataque surpresa, os monges começaram a construção de um sistema defensivo de fazer o tour do edifício. Mantendo apenas a baixa do windows, e o fio do boleto que vence, eles removeram a maioria dos elementos decorativos (cornija modillions), bem como o telhado.

Australasian Darter
Anhinga novaehollandiae
Anhingidae
Description: The Darter is a large, slim water bird with a long snake-like neck, sharp pointed bill, and long, rounded tail. Male birds are dark brownish black with glossy black upperwings, streaked and spotted white, silver-grey and brown. The strongly kinked neck has a white or pale brown stripe from the bill to where the neck kinks and the breast is chestnut brown. Females and immatures are grey-brown above, pale grey to white below, with a white neck stripe that is less distinct in young birds. The Darter is often seen swimming with only the snake-like neck visible above the water, or drying its wings while perched on a tree or stump over water. While its gait is clumsy on land, it can soar gracefully to great heights on thermals, gliding from updraft to updraft. It has a cross-shaped silhouette when flying.
Distribution: In Australia, the Darter is found from Adelaide, South Australia, to Tennant Creek, Northern Territory and then to Broome, Western Australia. it is also found in south-western Australia, from Perth to Esperance. Worldwide, it has been thought of as one of two mainAnhinga species (the other, A. anhinga, is found in North America), found in the southern half of Africa, Madagascar, Iraq, Pakistan, India, south-east Asia, Indonesia and New Guinea. However, A. melanogaster is now considered to be further divided into three species, with rufa being found in Africa, melanogaster in south Asia and novaehollandiae in New Guinea and Australia (the Australasian Darter).
Habitat: The Darter is found in wetlands and sheltered coastal waters, mainly in the Tropics and Subtropics. It prefers smooth, open waters, for feeding, with tree trunks, branches, stumps or posts fringing the water, for resting and drying its wings. Most often seen inland, around permanent and temporary water bodies at least half a metre deep, but may be seen in calm seas near shore, fishing. The Darter is not affected by salinity or murky waters, but does require waters with sparse vegetation that allow it to swim and dive easily. It builds its nests in trees standing in water, and will move to deeper waters if the waters begin to dry up.
Feeding: The Darter catches fish with its sharp bill partly open while diving in water deeper than 60 cm. The fish is pierced from underneath, flicked onto the water's surface and then swallowed head first. Smaller items are eaten underwater and large items may be carried to a convenient perch and then swallowed. Insects and other aquatic animals, including tortoises, may also be eaten, as well as some vegetable matter. In hot weather, adult birds may pour water from their bills into the gullets of their young chicks when they are still in the nest.
Breeding: The Darter is usually a solitary bird, forming pairs only while breeding. Breeding is erratic, happening whenever water levels and food supplies are suitable, but most often occurs in spring and summer. Nests are usually solitary, but Darters may nest within loose colonies with other water birds that nest in trees, such as cormorants, spoonbills and ibis. The male decorates a nest-site with green leafy twigs and displays to attract a mate, with elaborate wing-waving and twig-grasping movements. The male carries most of the nest material to the nest-site, which is normally in the fork of a tree standing in water, usually about 3.5 m above the water's surface. Both sexes complete the nest, incubate the eggs and raise the young. Chicks are kept warm by brooding continously (or cooled down by shading with spread wings) for up to a week after hatching and both adults stay in the nest with the chicks overnight. In hot weather, the adults will even shake water over the chicks after a swim. Chicks can swim after about four weeks in the nest and start to fly at about 50 days.
