Australasian Darter Bird ~

Was amazed to hear this bird make loud 'da-da dadada 'sounds deep in it's throat.

Have never before heard it make a sound.

Google says it makes 'caws.. hisses & click ' sounds. But...

Super timing and shot of your darter bird flapping his wings - I assume warning others before take off !! Love the glean on his wings ! fav

What a great shot, I wonder if he is calling to his mate.
