It's certainly not one I've seen before! love the water drops on the wings.

I'd say that it's a Scarlet Darter, Crocothemis erythraea

Scarlet Darter is correct, I compared other pics to the available examples of the SD and i'm reasonably sure it's one of those.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
