Australasian Darter, Murray River
My attempts don't quite compare to some our fellow bloggers fishing shots but I still thought they were of interest to show how Australasian Darters catch their fish!
They spear them straight through the middle, paddle to shore and then un-skewer them.
Nice shots, and I like the information on these birds.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo captures. I haven't even managed to get close enough to those birds to see that kind of action :-(
ReplyDeleteBrilliant shots, a really interesting post.
ReplyDeleteThese Darters are cool birds, great shots!
ReplyDeleteA great post for the theme!
ReplyDeleteNice to see!
Ouch! Thanks for showing us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this info Amanda. I had no idea a bird like this was a swimmer. I even googled to find their feathers aren't waterproof - amazing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the action.
This method seems a much better idea than the "clamp a damp fish in my beak" approach!
ReplyDeleteCheers and thanks for linking to WBW.
