Comment | Walking along the Swan River, this adult female Australasian Darter came rushing up the river towards me in full flight. Though I spotted her from afar, I only had time to put down the camera rig and take this one frame, just as she flew by. She was answering an seemingly urgent call from another dater further up the river and was obviously in a rush to get there. Time of capture 07:45 on a morning with bright sunshine. | ||||||||||||||||||
