I see Darters most days as I ride to work from Templestowe, along the bike
path to Melbourne, a distance of some 25 km.  There is a pair that breeds
in a dead tree in a billabong next to the bike path on the city side of
Burke Road.  There has been a bird sitting on the nest for the past few
weeks.  One or other of this pair (I assume) can often be seen in the river
a kilometre or so closer to the city (near Chandler Highway).

I have also seen a bird near Dight's falls, but only once.

Cheers

Ian
