(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\u2026the 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\u2026probably female and male, and quite possibly with some  juvenile plumage on the male. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos.
