While waiting for Dart 189 to appear at the Royal Infirmary I was quite astonished to see this arriving! Here's Dennis Dart 187 (Y187 CFS) and what a great surprise.
I shared a very enjoyable chat with the driver and - just like 189 a little later on asked "so how does it feel to be driving this again?" I will need to use alternative words to those actually used by her driver, but nonetheless the message thrown at me was "she's knackered".
Oh dear, so two old birds return to service on the same summer day in July 2010 - one in new madder and the other just lifted off the shelf and neither of them get a very good rating from their drivers. "Never mind" I said "she looks nice and that's the main thing". It's as well I'm just taking the pictures isn't it?!

The East Dart shortly before it joins the West Dart at Dartmeet. The clear water bubbling and babbling over the rocks sounds as good as it looks.
Common Darter - Sympetrum striolatum taking the sun at Higham Ferrers Pits Nature Reserve. One of many with several Migrant Hawkers patrolling nearby, but they avoided me :-)
Stephenson's Dennis Dart Plaxton Pointer EU03 CFX runs empty through Bury st Edmunds to work the 14B from St Benedicts School to Haverhill. One of the oldest Darts with Stephensons, was new in April 2003.
I think this is a ruddy darter rather than a common darter but would be pleased to have that confirmed or corrected.
This was seen on a circular walk, part of which was beside the canal.
The few I saw only settled on the ground and I saw no dragonflies settle on greenery.
Female Black Darter "obelisking" on Thorne Moors, South Yorkshire, England.
Taken with a 150-600mm rather than the macro lens so not as sharp as it should be.
I uploaded a photo of this darter i saw in Evans Head a couple of days ago. Here's another shot of it but this time i was able to get closer to the bird :-)

To celebrate, a selection of shots.
