The Australasian Darter (*Anhinga novaehollandiae*), found in Australia and nearby regions, is a large water bird with a long neck and sharp bill. It hunts fish underwater and dries its wings by spreading them in the sun. Similar to the American Anhinga, it is often seen swimming with only its head and neck above the surface. #Amazing #birds #beautiful RuralLife Downunder | RuralLife Downunder

Kelvin Bingard on Instagram: "The acrobatic Australasian Darter Bird🐦 Darter birds can often be seen drying their outstretched feathers for an important reason. Unlike most waterbirds, Darter birds don't have highly waterproof feathers🪶due to an underdeveloped preen gland that is responsible for producing a waxy oily substance to coat their feathers. The plus side is Darter birds are able to dive deeper in water💦when hunting prey due to the extra weight they gain in water from their feathers
