This Black Knight was found at the old Lilly Pond across the road from the Botanic Gardens. This has now been removed and replaced with a new pond in a slightly different location and very little vegetation. As it matures hopefully the dragonflies will return.
Time recorded is inaccurate. Date should be correct.

Slender Reedling (Female)
I rechecked the area of my original sighting under similar weather conditions to find it sitting not far from that first sighting. Sat in the area for my entire 2 hr shoot with its back to the muddy waterhole only stirring when I tried to circle it and climb a 3m embankment to get one 6m shot (2nd image). Hopefully covered all angles for a positive ID. It eventually vanished when I wasn't looking - no others appear to be around but in all the leaf litter laying about, would be like finding a needle in the haystack unless in flight.
rechecked to get better shots but instead found this pair 50m down the channel which enters a melaleuca swamp (maybe the same)
