Elusive clubtail (Stylurus notatus)

Found in Rockcliffe Park today. I also saw one there a few days ago. For a dragonfly that is known for never landing and sitting still, or when it does, high up in a tree, the ones I have seen have been remarkably cooperative.

Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
1/400s f/5.0 at 4.3mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
