First ever Comma
Haven't posted for a week or two, thanks to foul weather, work and a knackered back. Glorious day today, however, and grabbed some time at lunch to look for hoverflies. Nothing very exciting in that line but did find three commas on a creeping thistle patch. Been expecting these to reach us for a year or two now but still fantastic to see them finally reach Lanarkshire.

Not looking for artistic critique - it was a bit of a grab shot - just thought I'd share what was fine moment for me (and our entire Ranger Service who rushed down to check them out as well).

Cheers

Malcolm

Nicely taken Malcolm!!

Plenty of detail, and the composition looks good to me, irrespective of it being a grab shot :toast:
