J Darcy 5,871 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Great piccys mate......Now, I will stand corrected but if I had to bet my grannies pension on the Darter I'd say it was an immature male Black darter that has yet to colour up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PINNACLE 2,297 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Thanks for the comments Great piccys mate......Now, I will stand corrected but if I had to bet my grannies pension on the Darter I'd say it was an immature male Black darter that has yet to colour up. That is what someone else has said on another forum so looks like what it might be which is a result as never got one not flying before. Thanks for that. Good imagesWhat the lens and camera you use With flickr images you can click on the photo and it will show all exif info but in this instance it was my trusty Canon 1DMKiv with 70-300mmL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
