Picture of the day

The Australasian Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) is a species of bird in the darter family, which also includes the American, African, and Oriental darters. Darters are also known as snakebirds, which refers to the snake-like appearance of the neck when they swim with their bodies submerged. Australasian Darters are typically found in freshwater or brackish wetlands in Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.Photo: Fir0002
