Indian Darter | Oriental Darter | Snakebird | in 4k
The Oriental darter or Indian darter (Anhinga melanogaster) captured at Mandagadde, Shivamogga district, Karnataka state, India
Its a cormorant-like species that has a very long neck, its a water bird found in the tropical South Asian and South East Asia.
It has a long and slender neck with a straight, pointed bill and, like the cormorant, it hunts for fish while its body is submerged in water. It spears a fish underwater, bringing it above the surface, tossing and juggling it before swallowing the fish head first. The body remains submerged as it swims, and the slender neck alone is visible above the water, which accounts for the colloquial name of snakebird. Like the cormorants, it has wettable feathers and it is often found perched on a rock or branch with its wings held open to dry

Oriental Darter ( Anhinga melanogaster)
Sighted this elegant waterbird, the Oriental Darter, spread its wings, trying to get its feathers unclogged after foraging underwater. Typical behaviour for this species is as the wings of this bird, unlike most waterbirds, do not contain any oil, so the feathers can become waterlogged after foraging. Outstretching their wings in the sun can help them dry before the bird can fly quickly again.
This species is classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN. The bird populations are showing a sign of decline due to a few factors such as pollution, hunting and illegal collection of eggs and nestlings.

Sighted this elegant waterbird, the Oriental Darter, spread its wings, trying to get its feathers unclogged after foraging underwater. Typical behaviour for this species is as the wings of this bird, unlike most waterbirds, do not contain any oil, so the feathers can become waterlogged after foraging. Outstretching their wings in the sun can help them dry before the bird can fly quickly again.
This species is classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN. The bird populations are showing a sign of decline due to a few factors such as pollution, hunting and illegal collection of eggs and nestlings.

Just how does its neck not snap off? And how does it not choke on larger fish that it swallows? Nonetheless, watching this ungainly yet graceful bird dry out its wings and stretch them out with its sinewy neck looking one way and the other, is quite a sight!
A waterbird with a very long, slender, snakelike neck, and a long, pointed bill. Breeding adults have a shiny black body with silvery-white streaks along the wings, a brownish crown and neck, and a white stripe running from the eye to the side of the neck. Non-breeding and immature plumage is duller and browner. Frequently seen swimming with only its neck and head visible above the water. Impales fish underwater with its dagger-like bill. Like cormorants, often perches upright on a rock, drying itself with outstretched wings. Seen singly or in small groups in inland or coastal water bodies. Usually silent. - ebird

The Oriental darter or Indian darter (Anhinga melanogaster) is a water bird of tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia. It has a long and slender neck with a straight, pointed bill and, like the cormorant, it hunts for fish while its body is submerged in water. It spears a fish underwater, bringing it above the surface, tossing and juggling it before swallowing the fish head first. The body remains submerged as it swims, and the slender neck alone is visible above the water, which accounts for the colloquial name of Snakebird.

It has a long and slender neck with a straight, pointed bill and, like the cormorant, it hunts for fish while its body submerged is in water. It spears a fish underwater, bringing it above the surface, tossing and juggling it before swallowing the fish head first. The body remains submerged as it swims, and the slender neck alone is visible above the water, which accounts for the colloquial name of snakebird. Like the cormorants, it has wettable feathers and it is often found perched on a rock or branch with its wings held open to dry.
