Common Darter. Sympetrum striolatum

Sympetrum sanguineum

** This could be a Common Darter or perhaps a Red Veined Darter , I think its probably the latter though what do i know. It was taken at the North Cave wetland reserve in East Yorkshire

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT

As this is a very recently emerged individual and so very fresh and lacking much colour there was a bit of a discussion as to which species but the general consensus was Black Darter

Perfect weather for a cruise on the river… ‘The Dart Explorer’, a 300 seat luxury catamaran operated by the Dartmouth Steam Railway and River Boat Company, sailing out of Dartmouth in Devon.

There is this place, called by some "Tranquility Bay" where many Australasian Darters were born. There are still several families enjoying the special ambience of this place.

The River Dart between Galmpton Creek and Dittisham at sunset.

These two darters where sitting together, one of them drying its wings in the morning sun. Then they moved even closer and this happened. Just a short moment of bliss.

I've seen many birds behaving this way: parrots and cockatoos, fairy wrens and slivereyes, and even the ravens but this was for the first time I could watch the Australasian Darters displaying their affection...

Hello my flickr friends and l've been on my holidays and l went to, with my family, 15 of us, puerto de la cruz, tenerife, canary islands and this was taken at the botanical gardens and in england l would say that is a ruddy darter?
