Found this rather early newly emerged common darter dragonfly again in my small pond filter container with the main pump, sitting on a filter brush. I rescued it and gently placed it on one of my bonsai acers by the pond. Natural light. Focus stacked using zerene

East Lance Myllennium Dart has come to grief near the Brindley Theatre in Runcorn Old Town. Seen with the fire engine in attendance, a couple of minutes earlier when I passed it on the 62 service flames could be seen coming out of the grills and through the rear window, 27 August 2019.
"Oriental Darter" or "Indian Darter" is a water bird of tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia. It has a long and slender neck with a straight, pointed bill and, like the cormorant, it hunts for fish while its body submerged is in water. It spears a fish underwater, bringing it above the surface, tossing and juggling it before swallowing the fish head first.
Location: Thattekad Bird Sanctuary - Kerala, India
Ellenvale "Excelsior" LK07CBV - Dennis Dart LWB with East Lancs Mylennium Bodywork (But registered as Optare). The ISB6.7 coupled to an Allison gearbox certainly makes her an interesting drive. She is PSVAR compliant, fit with 39 coach style seats, 37 of which are fitted with 3-point belts, room for a wheelchair on top of this and also capacity for a further 23 standing - this makes her quite the versatile machine meaning she could crop up anywhere demand requires, although the mainstay is intended to be Scholar/Public service S1 into Cockermouth.
We have a few Darters visiting during the warmer periods, obviously there must be fish in the ponds, else they would not be here.
The Australasian darter or Australian darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) is a species of bird in the darter family, Anhingidae. It is found in Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. It weighs around 2.6 kg and spans 86–94 cm (34–37 in) in length
Dart 30 (DA52ZVM) had the first MCV body built. It probably also had the first MCV body to be scrapped as following an accident on Chester Rd, it had to be re-bodied. It is seen here in the depot on 2 October 2003 shortly after the incident - photo taken with permission. Scanned from a print.
It's yellow. there were some of these and more of the reddish ones that I think are Common Darters. These are the first dragonflies I've ever shot so know very little about them. ID info gratefully received!
The Dart-class destroyer of the Federal Republic of Casia is one of the newest additions to the Casian Naval Arm. Shortly after the end of the Feral War, the Naval Procurement Board was looking for a standard fleet-ship to replenish its depleted air fleet, and issued a demand for a capable, low cost, small- to medium-sized airship that could be produced in large numbers. The winning design was submitted by Lughead Airworks, a long-standing military airship company.
The Dart-class has the largest gun-to-weight ratio of any airship on the Continent, with most of those being small-caliber Repeaters. However, it also features two heavy cannon mounts on its underbelly, as well as four aerial torpedo launchers, giving it a very heavy punch for a ship its size. However, the Dart-class was almost rejected due to its high cost. A compromise was reached, whereas after an initial bulk order, a certain number would be slowly built over time, spreading out the cost while still allowing a decent number of these ships to be built.
This awkward manufacturing process means the Federal Navy never has an overabundance of ships, but those it does have are extremely capable. Conceived too late to participate in the Feral War, the Dart class nevertheless saw extensive service throughout the Continental War. Studies show it suffered much lower losses than other ships in its size and weight class, even though it saw just as much, if not more, action than them.
The design uses a unique intermeshing twin-propeller configuration, which allows for higher speeds while keeping a smaller profile. The Dart-class is notorious for being cramped and uncomfortable due to all the space being taken up by either guns or armour. Its sensor suite is fair-to-middling, but the Elektrics onboard are known to be fragile and prone to failure, leading to the standard doctrine of always deploying Darts in pairs or more.
Only one Dart-class destroyer has been sold, to the island nation of Jorken. Otherwise sales are prohibited. Tensions flared shortly before the Continental War when one of the first Dart classes to be built suffered an engine explosion and crashed near the border with the Straser Imperium. Imperial troops managed to get to the wreckage, but shortly after a Federal flotilla arrived and fire-bombed the wreckage, destroying the enitre ship and the Imperial troops. Some say this incident started the Continental War, but the fact that the war started several years after this incident suggests otherwise.
Upgrades are planned for the Dart-class, especially to the Elektrics and Mechanicae. There are currently open contracts for another fleet destroyer design, but so far no one has been able to produce a suitable alternative to the Dart-class, and its future appears secure.

The common darter is a dragonfly of the family Libellulidae native to Eurasia. It is one of the most common dragonflies in Europe, occurring in a wide variety of water bodies, though with a preference for breeding in still water such as ponds and lakes. In the south of its range adults are on the wing all year round

Dart through the light, lighter than gold and colder than love. Slip through the dark to the end of the night. Wake to the glow of the breeze.

Time for a little technical reading now and I've often been intrigued at the history and various types of Dart single deckers in the UK. My driver friend and enthusiast Chris Cuthill is a wizard of knowledge on everything bus-wise and helped me out with this information:
"SLF Dart (Super Low Floor) is a Chassis. Plaxton, later TransBus and Alexander Dennis, along with Alexander (during Plaxton days) Caetano, Wright and East Lancs, built there bodies on the SLF Dart Chassis.
The SPD (Super Pointer Dart) was the bodywork built by Plaxton/Transbus/Alexander Dennis until 2006. Only a handful were built on Volvo B6 Chassis with the rest on the Dart Chassis.
The most common size of Dart to be sold was the MPD (Mini Pointer Dart) built to a length of 8.9m. The Super Pointer Dart was popular with many operators, and built to a length of 11.3m".
So there we have it and just to add that all of Lothian's Darts are Pointers (SPD) at 11.3m. Thanks to Chris for this detail and he'll give us some more chassis talk with the next picture.

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. Females and immatures are grey-brown above, pale grey to white below, with a white neck stripe that is less distinct in young birds. The Darter is often seen swimming with only the snake-like neck visible above the water, or drying its wings while perched on a tree or stump over water. While its gait is clumsy on land, it can soar gracefully to great heights on thermals, gliding from updraft to updraft. It has a cross-shaped silhouette when flying.
