The railway from Bray to Greystones was planned and built between 1847 and 1856. The site for the railway, along the cliffs around Bray Head, was a strange decision, since it involved serious engineering challenges. A more obvious route from Shankhill to Wicklow would have been through the Glen of the Downs, it’s a natural cutting in the landscape. However, the landowner, Lord Meath, didn’t want the railway to divide his estate. Instead, he gave the railway company the cliff route free but, because of the geology, it is still one of the most costly stretches of railway track in Ireland. Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the celebrated engineer, was called in for consultation, and under his direction a single line, with several tunnels was constructed and continued round the Head and south as far as Wicklow.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, spacecraft onboard, is seen during sunrise, Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2021, at Space Launch Complex 4E, Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. DART is the world’s first full-scale planetary defense test, demonstrating one method of asteroid deflection technology.

Red Rose's 50511 (HW54 BTV); an example of the popular Dennis Dart SLF body, but on a Mini Pointer chassis, has gone through a lot of operator changes. It was new to Southern Vectis on the Isle of Wight, however in 2012, it was part of a serious accident. It was repaired by using parts from ex-Metroline DLD203 (LN51 KXJ). In late 2012, it then moved to Damory in Dorset. At some point in 2017, it moved to Buses Excetera in Guildford, before moving to Red Rose quite recently, in around 2019. It is seen here on its' usual route: Red Rose's estate route around Hemel Hempstead, the H10. The H10 is a lovely route that challenges this Dart as it struggles up the hills of Boxmoor. It is seen here starting an H10 after a well-deserved 35 minute break. Taken 13/02/2023.

Australasian Darter (male)

The Australasian Darter is a large, slim water bird with a long snake-like neck, which has inspired the nickname 'snake-bird'. The Darter has a long, pointed, & serrated bill, which it uses to spear fish & other aquatic prey. It swims underwater, using its webbed feet & powerful tail, & then strikes its bill into the prey. Once the bill is impaled into the prey, the Darter's serrations help to hold the prey in place, allowing the bird to swallow it whole or tear it apart.
I was really pleased with the way this male Darter presented himself for this photograph, positioned against a few long reeds, all bent at a similar angle creating an interesting & appealing series of lines.
The Common darter is a red, narrow-bodied dragonfly that can be seen throughout summer and autumn. It is hovers around all kinds of waterbodies, darting out to surprise its prey.
Ruddy darter pair egg laying in the grass rather than the pond surface which their common darter cousins appear to prefer. The egg is obvious at the abdominal tip of the female.
An Australian Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) captured on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
The Darter is a large, slim water bird with a long snake-like neck, sharp pointed bill, and long, rounded tail. Male birds are dark brownish black with glossy black upperwings, streaked and spotted white, silver-grey and brown. The strongly kinked neck has a white or pale brown stripe from the bill to where the neck kinks and the breast is chestnut brown.

Meanwhile in Torpoint...
Due to the ferry strike, First & Plymouth City Bus have implemented emergency timetables with alternate routes into Plymouth. First are offering only 6 return services to Plymouth while City Bus are offering a service every hour. Torpoint has seen unusual vehicles from both fleets making their way over the river. For Citybus, it must be the Dennis Dart SLF. Operating on the service 31 (emergency service) from Torpoint to Plymouth via Saltash is WA54 JWE, 79 seen here at sheviock this lunch time. This might be the only time we'll ever see this! I must also admit, the ride was nice too
