Strike a Pose - The Fashionable Oriental Darter Flaunts Its Freshly Dried Wings in Sri Lanka's Wetlands!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this stunning snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Neil Bowman, we witness the glamorous moment when an adult Oriental Darter strikes a pose on a branch at the edge of the water in Bundala National Park, Sri Lanka. With its wings elegantly spread wide open, this fashionable bird knows how to make heads turn! As if straight out of a high-end fashion magazine, our dashing darter takes center stage against the backdrop of lush greenery and glistening waters. This avian model seems to have mastered the art of drying its feathers with utmost grace and style. With its sleek black body contrasting against vibrant tropical surroundings, it's no wonder why this species is often referred to as the "snakebird". But don't be fooled by its serpentine nickname; this beauty belongs to the avian world! Standing tall and confident, our winged superstar showcases nature's impeccable design. Sri Lanka's wetlands provide an idyllic runway for these exotic creatures to flaunt their finest plumage. So next time you find yourself strolling through Bundala National Park in December, keep your eyes peeled for these fabulous fliers – they're sure to leave you awestruck with their mesmerizing presence!
