Taken at Hippo Dam, Kruger Park Lodge, Mpumalanga, adjacent to the Kruger Park on the Sabj River. Darters are related to Cormorants but swim with their bodies totally submerged so appearing like a swimming snake. They spear small fish with their sharp beaks. A very hot weekend. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/54175787178/ H/H with the K5 & Sigma 170-500 DG, TAV, 500mm, f8, 1/1600sec. ISO800  (The Jack Davis Formula). Range about 150m. Alan C
