Dear Photographers

Here is an interesting opportunity for anyone who enjoys wildlife photography. Once again Wisley Glasshouse is hosting a varied collection of butterflies from 15th January to 27th February 2011. These flamboyant creatures fly freely among the exotica of the tropical zone delighting our visitors. I would like to draw your attention to two special mornings being held during this event:
