Birdfair Bound

When it comes to birds and wildlife, this is the event of the year!  Or so we’ve heard…

With three full days on our calendar marked British Birdfair, Michelle and I are prepared to find out exactly what this birdwatching extravaganza is all about.  We do not have a stand. No nifty brochures either.  This is our chance to see the whole spectrum of the birdwatching industry come together. In fact, we will be the first to tell you that we aren’t quite sure what we are going to encounter.

A joint RSPB (Royal Society for the Preservation of Birds) and Wildlife Trust event, Birdfair presents wildlife enthusiasts, from the novice birder to the most avid twitcher, with three days chock-full of brilliant lectures, exclusive book launches, bird-based entertainment, and hundreds of stands selling every gadget imaginable.

Early bird gets the worm? Apparently not so when your fellow "birds" consist of 20,000+ twitchers (accustomed to early rising, of course) who are equally as excited to attend the annual Birdfair!

This Friday, these two American gals will be trekking 105 miles north of London, to Rutland Water Oakham, to experience first-hand, the world’s largest international birdwatching event.  So, folks, raise your glasses… Here is to wingin’ it!

Happy Birding!

Danielle & Michelle
