Submerged Darter (African Loch Ness monster?)

The Africa Darter when searching for food is always almost fully submerged. Unlike other water birds that hold air in their feathers, cormorants and darters etc. squeeze this air out to enable them to plunge to great depths.

Looks like somebody has some new gear :) It it looking to perform very well, how's your experience so far? Did you try shooting it from hand yet? Posted 11 years ago

  So far so good but I still need to put it through its paces a bit more. Really heavy so not tried it hand held yet. Have to say though, I am loving that extra reach as the wildlife is really shy around here. Wish I could afford a 600 prime...one day! Posted 11 years ago

I would have thought it was a Cormorant, but I see it is related.
(It does give some new light on a possibility that maybe the Loch Ness Monster is really some type of water bird? But don't tell the Scots that :) :) Posted 11 years ago
