I hope there's enough here for an ID. Underneath view. Dragonfly observed by Aussiegall & myself. We were both struck by the size of this dragonfly (it was BIG) and the brown/yellow colour. Its flight was low (1m or lower) and direct. Stopped briefly then flew on.

NIce One. I'm only familiar with Southern Evening Darner, but based on the shape/size of the terminalia it is clearly an Eastern Evening Darner, supported by location.

Eastern Evening Darner was accidentally added to the damselfly category. Just fixed that up with deleting the species and then readding.
