EDITORS COMMENTS
Strike a Pose: The African Darter's Feathered Fashion Show!". In this snapshot by Alan Weaving, we witness the glamorous post-fishing routine of ASW-4714, the fabulous African Darter. With its sleek black plumage and elegant long neck, this avian diva knows how to steal the spotlight! Perched high up in a tree at Sam Knott Nature Reserve, near Grahamstown in Eastern Cape, South Africa, our dashing protagonist is caught mid-preen after a successful day of fishing. This charismatic bird can be found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, effortlessly inhabiting freshwater dams, lakes, sluggish rivers - even coastal lagoons and estuaries when it craves some seaside glamour. With an appetite for fish that rivals any Michelin-starred chef's dedication to culinary perfection, ASW-4714 showcases its piscivorous prowess with pride. But let's not forget about style! Every feather on display has been meticulously cleaned and groomed – no wonder it looks like it just stepped out of a salon! As nature enthusiasts flock to national parks and reserves across South Africa and beyond to catch glimpses of these magnificent creatures in action, Alan Weaving captures their essence beautifully through his lens. So next time you're exploring the wonders of wildlife photography or simply seeking inspiration from Mother Nature herself – remember this stunning image that reminds us all that even birds need their 'me' time!
