Hi,

After a few days away from the computer and lots of changed plans I was pleased to find this obliging female Banded Demoiselle, still in very short supply down here. Very pleased with the light when a cloud covereda harsh sun.....

All the best & will catch up with commenting over the next few days.

Wonderful image Phil, great detail, superb colours and, as John says, the bent flag leaf just finishes it all off brilliantly :toast: :toast:
