Created in Tierazon. It reminded me of poison dart frogs (But then again, I look at things a bit differently).
The Australasian Darter or Australian Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) is a species of bird in the darter family, Anhingidae. It is found in Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea. It weighs around 2.6 kg, spans 85-90 cm in length, and has a lifespan of up to 15 years.
It is related to American (Anhinga anhinga), African (Anhinga rufa), and more closely related to the Oriental (Anhinga melanogster) Darters.
Typical habitat is freshwater or brackish wetlands more than 0.5m deep with fallen trees or logs and vegetated banks; less commonly, Darters are found in sheltered saltwater or estuarine environments.( which is were my rare spotting's and photo shooting take's place). It is a Near Threatened species. Habitat destruction along with other human interferences (such as egg collection and pesticide overuse) are the main reasons for declining darter populations.
Darters feed mainly on mid-sized fish; far more rarely, they eat other aquatic vertebrates and large invertebrates of comparable size. These birds are foot-propelled divers that quietly stalk and ambush their prey; then they use their sharply pointed bill to impale the food animal. On the underside of the cervical vertebrae 5-7 is a keel, which allows for muscles to attach to form a hinge-like mechanism that can project the neck, head and bill forward like a throwing spear. After they have stabbed the prey, they return to the surface where they toss their food into the air and catch it again, so that they can swallow it head-first. Like cormorants, they have a vestigial preen gland and their plumage gets wet during diving. To dry their feathers after diving, darters move to a safe location and spread their wings.
Also known as the Snake Bird, this is a female drying its feathers, always with the back turned to the sun. They grow to a size of approx 90cm

I finished a second Snowme tonight. This one was created with the suggested yarn, and the small really did turn out much smaller than the first one I created. This guy is intended as a stocking stuffer.

African Darter is a Cormorant-like water bird found throughout sub-Saharan Africa near large bodies of water. The feathers of the African Darter do not contain oil, therefore are not waterproof. The Darter is a good diver for catching fish and can often be seen air drying its feathers, particularly at the end of the day.
