Distinguished from the Magpie by it's white underparts and slighter build/smaller size and from a Magpielark by it's all-black head and nape and by it's larger size. The observer has previously seen this species on a number of occasions in the Riverland.This bird has probably moved down along the River Murray, well beyond its usual range.

On the banks of the Torrens behind the zoo
Darter (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.
