Butterflies in the Glasshouse

Sunday dawned bright and sunny - what a change from all that rain!  We took the opportunity to visit RHS Wisley to see the Butterflies in the glasshouse.
There was a bit of a queue, but it was worth it.  We spent lots of time admiring the beauty of the butterflies as they swooped around the glasshouse and rested on the plants and rocks.  Feeding stations had been set up with fruit and there was ample opportunity to take photos of the butterflies:-
