River Dart, below Dartmeet, Dartmoor

This common darter dragonfly has chosen to warm himself in the sun on a dried cowpat. From his point of view it probably looks like the perfect landing pad!

Thanks for visiting!

This was a very funny collab with HRVB a few months ago. Dart game and pub meets beer flush overkill.

A “selfie” at Dart Glacier near Cascade Saddle in Mt Aspiring National Park, New Zealand. I last hiked/tramped here in February 1979. It has changed a little bit but not as much as I would have thought. Will post photos from 1979 when I get home.

The darters or snakebirds are mainly tropical waterbirds in the family Anhingidae having a single genus Anhinga. There are four living species, three of which are very common and widespread while the fourth is rarer and classified as near-threatened by the IUCN. The term "snakebird" is usually used without any additions to signify whichever of the completely allopatric species occurs in any one region. It refers to their long thin neck, which has a snake-like appearance when they swim with their bodies submerged, or when mated pairs twist it during their bonding displays. "Darter" is used with a geographical term when referring to particular species. It alludes to their manner of procuring food, as they impale fishes with their thin, pointed beak. The American darter (A. anhinga) is more commonly known as the anhinga. It is sometimes called "water turkey" in the southern United States for little clearly apparent reason; though the anhinga is quite unrelated to the wild turkey, they are both large, blackish birds with long tails that are sometimes hunted for food.

 

Anhinga is derived from the Tupi ajíŋa (also transcribed áyinga or ayingá), which in local mythology refers to a malevolent demonic forest spirit; it is often translated as "devil bird". The name changed to anhingá or anhangá as it was transferred to the Tupi–Portuguese Língua Geral. However, in its first documented use as an English term in 1818, it referred to an Old World darter. Ever since, it has also been used for the modern genus Anhinga as a whole.

Stagecoach 34816 (PX06 DWA) appears to be back on the old route 12 the buses used to take, but today, For a while at least, Badby Road was closed, so a now rare sight of a Dennis Dart along High Street, Braunston. I assume the buses went to Willoughby, and back to Barby via Longdown Lane?
