Every year there is at least one seal swims up the River Dart from Dartmouth to Totnes in Devon.
I have seen this on several occasions, but this was the first time I had a chance to film it.
Airborne Artillerymen assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division Artillery ram the 155MM projectile into their M777A2 howitzer during an emergency fire mission, also known as a hip shoot during a Division Artillery Readiness Test on Fort Bragg N.C., March 2, 2016. The DART tests the battery in support of Global Response Battalion 1 on the their ability to conduct standard and non-standard fire missions such as the out of traverse, and emergency fire missions both day at night under stressful situations to ensure they can support any mission for GRB-1 within 18 hours of notification.

The ashy darter has a wide, but sporadic distribution throughout the upper Cumberland and Tennessee River systems. It usually inhabits relatively silt-free, flowing pools, a habitat type that has been impacted due to poor agricultural practices and other non-point sources of pollution.

While taking pictures in Leigh Bus station I noticed that a number of the Darts operated by First had two exhaust pipes. Does any one know why this is?
The River Dart rises high on Dartmoor, and flows for 75km(46.60 miles) to the English Channel at Dartmouth. This view, showing a busy river, was taken from South Embankment, Dartmouth, looking towards Kingswear, in late 07/2003. The English Channel, out of sight, is to the right of the photo. A River Link vessel is seen arriving from Totnes.
The camera being a Pentax MZ-M with the film being a Boots Colourslide.

Dennis Dart SLF East Lancs body B41F. new Oct 1996 to Midland Red North 1314. In Stafford 16 July 2009.
The weather wasn't excellent brilliant for a lot of insects earlier this afternoon. Dull, dark skies with persistent light rain but there were still quite a few dragonflies and damselflies around some of the local ponds, including this one, my first Ruddy Darter of the year.
Having seen my first Common Darter of the year yesterday I thought it may have been another one but upon closer inspection through the camera, I realised this one was in fact a Ruddy. Unlike Common Darters which have black legs with light brown lines, these have completely black legs.
