Gone fishing

‘Each time this Australasian darter dived, I had no idea where it would briefly resurface; sometimes without food, sometimes swallowing it quickly, and, just this once, tossing a common galaxias into the air to ensure it went down head-first. The way the darter is rising from the water, with duck weed clinging to its feathers, reminds me of a sculpture emerging from its plinth.’
