Australasian Darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae)

A Dennis Dart 10.1 M was climbing up Fortress Hill.

These darters have been around in large numbers since July but sadly their days are numbered now as they will be gone once the first frosts of the autumn set in. The common darter is usually one of the last dragonflies to be seen on the wing each season.

2nd shot below, this time of a male.

Am Sonntag haben Christine, Jan und ich uns auf den Weg nach Bray gemacht. Das ist etwas südlich von Dublin und hat einen ganz netten Strand.

Away for a while - not that anyone has noticed but I have noticed a debit by flickr on my account, so let's get value for money ;-)

The Dart 10K is an annual swim organized by the Outdoor swimming society.

Common darter dragonflies mating. I was watching the male when he flew up and caught the female in mid air before settling into the mating circle

This Black Darter is another first for me, seen on a recent visit to Foulshaw Moss, one of the reserves of the Cumbria Wildlife Trust

The snake bird twisted its neck in a really scary way to look around. Here the dagger-like beak is seen very clearly.

Darter dragonfly - think this was a slightly old male.

its also called snake bird because the movement of the neck is like snake. ( manipulated image )
