These
Blue-eyed Hooktail or Large Pincertail Dragonflies Onychogomphus uncatus were photographed on the
River Olo in Portugal where this species is clearly a common one. It is
necessary to examine the wing-venation and the shape of the anal appendages
carefully when identifying European Onychogomphus club-tailed dragonflies as there are several
similar species. Their penchant for settling on pale stones in bright sunlight
can make automatic metering difficult so some degree of bracketing (i.e.
deliberate over-exposure) will be required against this type of background!
