Darters are closely related to Cormorants but have longer necks &
sharply pointed beaks like Herons. They spear rather than catch fish.
Also, they are less oily than Cormorants so swim with their bodies
completely submerged with only their neck & head sticking out like a
swimming snake. The African Snake Darter is aptly named. This remarkable
shot was taken by Ian van Romberg (PENTAX PHOTOGRAPHERS SA) On the Berg
River, Velddrif, Western Cape. Ian kindly gave permission for me to show
his image here:
