Darter at Sturt Reserve

I recently took a break from my writing and spent a little while at Sturt Reserve, a public picnic area next to the River Murray in my home town of Murray Bridge in South Australia.

While there were quite a few birds around, the one which caught my eye in particular was this Darter drying its wings on a log near the bank of the river. While this species is widespread in Australia, I have found it not to be common anywhere.
