These birds crack me up, the way they fly with their neck bent.

Nice shot.

Great capture, Big V.

Do you know what kind of bird it is?

Posted: **Sun Apr 09, 2006 9:46 pm**

If I learnt my lesson from last time...it's a Heron and definately not a cormorant.

Not a heron, and not a cormorant - it's an Australasian Darter

(Anhinga melanogaster), and it's a boy !!!

Beautiful shot by the way

I think I'll shut up about birds now. I'm clearly not an authority on the subject. :oops:

Don't feel bad about it Macka - Rel lives and breathes this stuff. One of these days we'll catch her out. But it probably won't be in my lifetime... :wink:
