Stratford-Upon-Avon Butterfly Farm.

Spent a day out yesterday visiting a couple of places in the Midlands, one of which was the Stratford-Upon-Avon Butterfly Farm.

It has an amazing flight area filled with tropical plants, flowers and waterfalls boasting over 250 different species of tropical butterfly from 20 countries. At any one time, there can be more or less 1,500 free flying individual butterflies!

You can find out more from this spectacular Butterfly Farm here:
