Home is where you hang your dart board. It has been years, over 8, since I have had this hanging. It is in the more finished side of the basement of our new house.
This section is about 1-2 kms upstream from the start of the Dart/Rees walking track.
The colour of the Dart River was quite muddy due to around 300mm of rain falling a couple of days previously. Normally the colour of the Dart River is a beautiful bluey green.
Percina shumardi, Guadalupe River, Texas. The River darters found in this drainage are a disjunct population representing the far western part of their range.
This is either a female or juvenile Darter (Anhinga melanogaster), also known as "snake birds" with their serpentine neck. They use their pointed bill to spear fish along rivers and around wetlands.
Not long after having my best view of a local Hare yet as it ran from the bushes in front of me to an area of trees a few hundred away, I came across a couple of Ruddy Darters. They were the first ones I'd seen this year and although they were both quite wary, I still managed to get close-ups of this one as it sat on a blade of long grass just inches away from my camera lense.
Great to see them again and I'm sure that there will be many more emerging in the next few weeks :-)
