Great capture Jayne! At fist glance I thought this was a Black-Shouldered Tinyleg. I love the color on this dragonfly!

Great looking dragonfly... I'm not sure, but I think the one I just photographed a couple days ago is the same kind.

Another cracking shot! I'm interested to know what you think causes the 'collapsed' compound eye. I've noticed it on a few dragons I and friends have photographed over here. I put it down to raindrops falling on the eye when it's soft after the adult has only just emerged from it's exuvia?
