Water Prince (1/12)

Odonata: Libellulidae

Hydrobasileus brevistylus  

As I walked down to Enoggera Reservoir I was greeted by this Water Prince dragonfly. I had come into its space and as I stood still, it came and checked me out. It would zig and zag, then zip away and zap back, hovering for a second and then just as my lens caught up with it, fly away.

It took me 10 minutes to get my first photo.
