Very well tied - I can't even think about the patience required to get the wings just right on something that small - well done.

Thanks lads, don't usually tie that small or in that style so it's good to hear positives.

Very nice work. Not a style that gets much air time this weather, all klinkys and CDC
Not that there is anything wrong with them though
