The last month has seen an influx of material from many different corners of the globe. Lemurs from Madagascar, weird marsupials and endemic plants from Australia, delicate macro work from Cyprus, British birds and bees, and marine life from worldwide locations - Norway, Bahamas, Canada and the Philippines. We are also delighted to now represent the work of new contributors John Shaw and Houdin & Palanque.
