Some Birds I picked up

The wetlands in Kakadu have many birds including the Jabiru (named after the town or vice versa)

The Darter has a strange kink in its neck which allows it to propel its head forward at amazing speed and spear fish with its beak

The Sea Eagle is a big bird of prey

The thing walking on the lily pads has enormous toes and a name I forget.
