African Darter: Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — The tour boat to the base of Murchison Falls from the old ferry crossing (and new bridge) on the Nile is always productive. This year we had afternoon rains to contend with, so part of the journey was spent huddled under the awnings on the boat, but still, we saw many birds and quite a bit of wildlife from the water. This stretch of river is good for the African Darter…the African species of Anhinga. (The Anhinga of North America is sometimes called the American Darter), The four species of Anhinga world-wide, American, African, Oriental (or Asian) and Australian are distinguished primarily by region. Front and back view here…probably female and male, and quite possibly with some juvenile plumage on the male. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
