I know the photo's not the best but the overall impression, bare in mind we see loads on here, is that this is a very, pretty little fly, I love it!

hi Scott,

Lovely fly, I like it.

just a comment about the photo's, they are out of focus. get yourself a tripod, I use a little tripod that is great for working on a table. only about 10cm high, secondly use the self timer mode on your camera, it will remove any camera movements you might pick up when pressing your shutter button. also make sure that your camera focus on the fly.

If you are going to take this advice Marks and Sparks sell wee camera tripods for £3 . I bought one yesterday its about 3 in tall and extends up to 5 in . Thought it was a great buy for £3 Maybe they will be in The boxing day sale cheaper

Lovely head there Scott, but I bet all the boys say that.....



Lovely colours, an utter cracker!


Your photos are usually of magazine quality and pin sharp so you must have had a wee hangover when you took that one but it was only so slightly blurred
