If You Love Your OutDoor Adventures – Get Yourself To Birdfair 2010
.
It’s your chance to meet some inspirational people – and get your hands on some great equipment!
It’s not all about birds – but if you love birdwatching and great wetland landscapes – then I suggest you clear your diary for any day over the weekend of 20th to 22nd August 2010!
For only £10 entry – you could have the opportunity to ask Chris Packham for some wildlife-watching tips, listen to Mark Carwardine discussing endangered species and maybe watch a slide show of great wildlife moments from Simon King – not bad, eh?
The Show:
Basically, BirdFair is one of the biggest bird-watching and outdoor shows in the UK and is set in the most beautiful scenery to add even more to your day.
As with many great shows, there will also be the opportunity to visit the stands of all the local and international wildlife stands and ask questions about the work they do and how to become a supporter or volunteer.
Add to this stalls that are filled to the brim with the best photographic equipment to improve your photos and to increase your viewing range as digiscopes and binoculars of all shapes and sizes are on offer. As well as a host of specialist manufacturers and users to help you decide on the best items for your needs.
Whether you are hoping to get some advice for starting out or whether you are looking to take the next step in your craft and hoping to increase your equipment collection to cover more wildlife and birds – it will all be there.

And it’s not just about technical things – there will be a whole host of stalls selling outdoor clothing, camping goods, walking shoes, wildlife holidays, travel books, field guides, wildbird seed, nest boxes, wildlife art, and so much more!
And, to be ‘green’ the organisers are offering free transfer buses to the show from the local train station to save on all those cars on the roads!
Show Extras:
It’s not all about just being a show – there is so much more there than stall after stall.
For example, there is a grand auction selling a whole range of random goodies from paintings to one-off experiences – all donated to the show specifically to raise funds for this years fundraising targets.
There are also 3 different agendas for events and talks throughout each day and kids events as well for the little learners! Bushcraft skills, art and education are the themes you can find here in the several big tents on site.
And, your entry ticket gives you free access to the nature reserves here too – so after you have brought that new camera you have been promising yourself – or upgraded to a better digiscope – you can get straight out there are try it for size!
If you plan to go for the day – make sure you get there early and plan to do a lot of walking, and you won’t regret it. If you know you love this type of show then make sure you stay for the weekend as you might not get to see everything on just the 1 day!
And this only happens once a year!
