both were taken at brandon marsh,the common darter is i suspect am immature male,the ruddy was tricky to get because it was in a small boggy area

with the common darter the trick is to find a subject that isnt so timid,this one was because i wanted an above shot,if i had got down to his level he might have been a little easier..the trick with the ruddy is to actually find one

where do you find them usually?

Great Ruddy shot Ian. Got much closer than me!

The common is great too.
