22nd November 2004 - London Butterfly House

Well it is winter in the UK now, and butterflies out in the wild are not generally seen now, especially round Brentford. However in the area is Syon Park, which contains the London Butterfly House. I finally found an opportunity to visit the place. Needless to say I was armed with a camera! The flipout twisty LCD viewfinder was particularly useful when I took a picture of a Thailand Clipper that had settled on my shoulder. (That Clipper stayed there for about half an hour while I wandered around the centre.) I want to return eventually and take more pictures of butterflies that I missed this time. But in the meantime here are the results of round 1 in the order I took them...

Thanks to the London Butterfly House who also helped me identify a few of these butterflies. I'm half way through updating...
