The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period 
Monday, July 12, 2010 to Sunday, July 18, 2010:

Area: SA

Date: Sunday, July 11, 2010

Location: On the banks of the Torrens behind the zoo

Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) (1) The darter was perched on the grass on the 
riverbank next to the zoo, between the cycle/walking path and the river, drying 
its wings, taking no notice of walkers or cyclists. (It probably couldn't take 
off. It looked very wet). We walked past only 2 metres away.  The river was 
very dirty, and appeared to be liquid black mud, but maybe some fish are 
surviving.
