Distinguishing info needed edit

It would be great to see information on how they can be visually distinguished from Oriental Darters. 99of9 03:22, 24 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Bird of Pakistan edit

Category: Birds of Pakistan was recently added to this article, surely that would be Oriental Darter? Aviceda talk 02:07, 12 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

The Australasian Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) is a species of bird in the darter family, which also includes the American, African, and Oriental darters. Darters are also known as snakebirds, which refers to the snake-like appearance of the neck when they swim with their bodies submerged. Australasian Darters are typically found in freshwater or brackish wetlands in Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.Photo: Fir0002

New Zealand edit

Are they really found in New Zealand? I Don't think so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.199.194.235 (talk) 05:05, 30 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Tasmania edit

The article says they are not found in Tasmania... but the distribution map shows tasmania fully colored in as part of the distribution (New Zealand, too). ". Aapold (talk) 16:12, 16 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
