Anhinga melanogaster
An in-flight shot of this supreme fisher. Also called the Snake Bird in India, ours can spear fish underwater as it swims.
This active male Ruddy Darter gave me the run around for a while before he finally settled and allowed me to get some images. I used a wide aperture to blur the background but getting the eyes and the tail tip in focus at apertures like this is almost impossible. To get around this I later blended the sharpest overall image with a second image which showed the tail tip in better focus.

DART TOWED AERIAL GUNNERY TARGET
Pilot gunnery practice led to the development of targets that could be towed at a safe distance behind utility aircraft. The target on display was manufactured in the 1950s. The dart disposable target was made of lightweight, inexpensive materials including aluminum foil skin and honeycomb filler installed on a wood framework.
Or at least I think it's a common darter. I'm nowhere near a dragonfly specialist so please correct me if I'm wrong!

We had a great day on Saturday with a Flickr Group outing organized by Manjucus Webb. We spotted this splendid darter fishing at Berrinba Wetlands, Marsden.
