Croc taking a Darter

            Australian Darter: 
Anhinga novaehollandiae
Family:  Anhingidae
Order: Suliformes

Saltwater Crocodile:
Crocodylus porosus

As I was busy photographing the Whistling Duck in the foreground, A Saltwater Crocodile launched itself from the water to take an Australian Darter a few metres away!

Sadly the croc was slightly out of focus!  [Sighs].  But at least the duck was pin sharp!  :)

Only a few minutes earlier, I had watched the darter or its mate catching a fish the same spot (see earlier post).
