The common tern is characterised by their silver-grey upperparts, white underparts, black cap and red bill, as well as long tails that have earned them the nickname ‘sea-swallow’.

The common whitetail or long-tailed skimmer is a common dragonfly across much of North America, with a striking and unusual appearance. The male's chunky white body (about 5 cm or 2 inches long), combined with the brownish-black bands on its otherwise translucent wings, give it a checkered look. Females have a brown body and a different pattern of wing spots, closely resembling that of female twelve-spotted skimmer. Whitetail females can be distinguished by their smaller size, shorter bodies, and white zigzag abdominal stripes.

NOT SEEING ALL MY CONTACTS PICTURES AGAIN GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Like most insect populations around our way, number of odonata are down this year. On our pond which by now should have tens of darters, I found just 5. This male was jealously guarding its patch.
