Commom Darter Dragonfly:-
Dragonflies are insects in the sub-order Anisoptera (meaning "unequal-winged"). Hind wings are usually shorter and broader than forewings. They are usually large, strongly flying insects that can often be found flying well away from water. When at rest, they hold their wings out from the body, often at right angles to it. The eyes are very large and usually touch, at least at a point. The larvae have no external lamellae (gill plates).
In Great Britain and Ireland there are about 30 species that may be encountered and one that has become extinct. These species fall into 5 families and 14 genera.

Red Deer Hind's with Fawn image taken at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. The Red Deer took some finding on my visit and I only found a small group consisiting of two Stags and around ten hinds with a few fawns and they were in the last place I looked as I walked back to my car. Still got a good walk in looking for them on a very sunny day.
This was one of those sights that really captivated my thoughts and attention. The early morning light made all the difference to this simple, plain image that would have otherwise been ignored if seen during the middle of the day for example.
Another big plus for me was the eye contact made and the beautiful stillness of tranquility in my surroundings.
The Hawker Hind was developed from the Hawker Hart as a light bomber by Sidney Camm of Hawker Aircraft Limited.
The Hawker Hind was purchased by the RAF as an interim aircraft whilst more modern bombers such as the Fairey Battle were being developed.
The Hind's structure was manufactured from Steel and Duralumin with the wings covered with doped fabric, and powered by a Rolls Royce Kestrel V engine.
The Hawker Hinds improvements on the Hart were a tail wheel instead of a tail skid, a cutaway rear cockpit for better field of view and an improved exhaust system.
The prototype, K2915, made its first flight on the 12th of September 1934 and with a few modifications the first production Hawker Hind flew on the 4th of September 1935.
The Hawker Hind went into service with the RAF in November 1935 and eventually equipped 20 Squadrons.
The Hawker Hind was phased out of front line service by 1937 being replaced by the Fairey Battle and Bristol Blenheim.
At the outbreak of the second World War the Hawker Hind was retained in the Army co-operation role with 613 Squadron prior to being replaced by the Hawker Hector in 1939.
The main role of the Hawker Hind during WWII was as an intermediate training aircraft replacing the Tiger Moth.
