Tantivy Plaxton Darts 201, 206, 204, 202 & 203 parked at the company parking area at Jersey Airport. 25/03/18
Another shot of the pair of USAF Convair F-106A Delta Darts from the 119th FS New Jersey Air National Guard making a gear-down fly-by at the McGuire AFB Open House on the 16th August 1987.
These two were 57-0240 with 59-0034. Sister ship 59-0049 was parked in the static arena that day. (see below)
One of the 'Century' series of fighters, F-106's were used by the USAF as part of NORAD as interceptors, eventually passing to the Air Guard units before eventual retirement to AMARC or more likely converted as unmanned QF-106 aerial drone targets ending their days in a flash and a bang!

so Warm today, had a lovely walk this morning, spotted quite a few spiders and still Common Darter Dragonflies about too
Black darter...Sympetrum danae. immature male. Crowle Moor Nature Reserve, Lincolnshire, England. This specimen seems to have a little dent on one of its lower abdominal segments, never observed this in a Dragonfly before, possible brief encounter with a birds bill?

A southbound DART heads along the coastal stretch between Dublin and Dun Laoghaire.
The Martello tower in the background was one of 28 built to protect the Dublin area coastline in 1804 and part of a defense network of almost 50 constructed around Ireland, and many hundreds throughout the British Empire.
With extremely thick walls that could withstand many days of cannonball attack, a large gun on top and two above-ground levels accessible by a door partway up one side (via a ladder that could be removed by the occupants), they were superb defensive forts until rifled artillery was developed.

DART 8140 arrives into the recently opened Grand Canal Dock Station, with the impressive Aviva Stadium in the rear of the photo.
What a revelation this electric sets were when introduced on Dublin's commuter belt, replacing clapped out diesel carraiges.
8140 is one of the original 8100 class, built by GEC and Linke-Hofmann-Busch & later upgraded by Siemens.
Amongst the large gum trees on one of our local creeks the Darters appear to have bred well this season. From one vantage point I counted 4 nests. This being the closest and most visible. Here Mum is having a rest in the light rain whilst the chicks look on....patiently awaiting some activity that may signal a feed.
Darter "Anhinga melanogaster."
Also known as.....Diver, Needle-beak Shag or Snake bird.
The Darter is a fishing bird related to cormorants with a stiletto like bill and snake like neck. They swim underwater and often impale small fish etc with a sudden thrust forward of their neck and open bill.
On the surface, Darters swim with their body submerged and only their neck and head visible, hence the name "snake-bird."
Common Darter - Kendal Park, Hullbridge, Essex. Hopefully making use of the new pond for future generations!

Male Common Darter resting on a gurse bush. Not an ideal day for macros because of the breezy conditions but captured this dragonfly in a sheltered spot.
Sympetrum striolatum
This is a small dragonfly that spends long periods perched on vegetation, walls, fences and even garden canes and washing lines. It suddently darts out from its perch in pursuit of a fly and often returns to the same perch.
It is a very common species in England, Wales and Ireland, less common in Scotland.
Only mature male common darters are red. Females and newly-emerged males are a pale greeny-brown colour.
Male common darter dragonfly sitting on a fence. Quite surprised to see one still around after the rain storms we've had recently.
