Dodge Dart 1972. The fourth generation of the Dart was launched with new styling in 1967, and this was refreshed in 1969. Performance versions were offered such as the Dart GTS, but for 1969 the Dart Swinger alone was offered with a 6.9-litre 240 engine as an option.
Ruddy Darter, (Sympertrum sanguineum),
The male is readily identified by its very bright red adbomen, strongly constricted near the front and bearing prominent black marks on segments 8 and 9. The female has a yellowish and resembles the female Common Darter, but differs in having completely black legs and a yellow patch at the base of the hindwing. It breeds in well-vegetated ponds; flies June-September. Many of the insects seen in the British Isles are probably immigrants from the continent,.

This group contains the true dragonflies, which are gre generally larger and stouter than the damselflies and in which the hindwing is noticeably broader than the forewing, forewing, The insects always rest with their wings outspread, The eyes of most species meet in the middle of the head, The insects have two mainmethods of hunting, hawkers stay on the wing for long periods and may patrol a stretch of river or hedgerow all day, while darters remain perched for much of the time and merely fly out to snatch passing prey, There are 23 resident British species, and a few more occasional visitors from the continent,
These darters have been around in large numbers since July but sadly their days are numbered now as they will be gone once the first frosts of the autumn set in. The common darter is usually one of the last dragonflies to be seen on the wing each season.

A Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) dries its wings on a rocky foreshore. Bare Island, Botany Bay, NSW
This Black Darter is another first for me, seen on a recent visit to Foulshaw Moss, one of the reserves of the Cumbria Wildlife Trust
The snake bird twisted its neck in a really scary way to look around. Here the dagger-like beak is seen very clearly.
Darter dragonfly - think this was a slightly old male.
