Thank you Neil, you have lots of nice photographs too. I wish I can go to Australia and take pictures of many great species that you have there.

Excellent photos, Frederic. Beautiful lighting, and a great spotting.

Thank you Taka, I will recheck that. Maybe if you are a dragonfly specialist, you can help me on that one, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/36947096 Thanks!

Not a Scarlet Darter, but a Sympetrum species, probably Sympetrum vulgatum.
