Hi Tony
When we were living in Mildura, it was quite common during the cold season
to see significant numbers of Darters, along with many, many Cormorants,
Pelicans and Gulls on the river feeding on what I was told were "Bony Bream"
that were "dying?" (perhaps just weakened) in the river. Some cold mornings
it was quite spectacular to see perhaps 200 or more birds fishing just above
and below the weir. Maybe what you saw also is due to the cold!

Whilst spending a few days in the Renmark - Paringa area last week we
were surprised to find relatively large numbers of Darters. The largest
group of some 20 or so were just below Lock 5 at Paringa, but we also
saw individuals and groups of two or three just about everywhere we went
along the river and lagoons. One can usually find a few Darters, most
frequently as lone birds, along the river but these numbers seemed
exceptional. Any thoughts ?
Tony.
