Henry at the Bird Fair – Day 3 (6 and last)

A few more photos – thanks to everyone for being such good sports. And being so friendly.

The Wildlife Trusts are, of course, co-organisers of the Bird Fair with the RSPB, and it takes place on a Leics and Rutland WT nature reserve each year. A bif ‘Thanks!’ to them.

 

Henry can count on Batumi Raptor Count (or should that be the other way around)?

Nigel Jarratt of WWT tells Henry about how to save Spoon-billed Sandpipers.

Henry thought that this might be a good place to look for ringtails but he didn’t have any luck, however much he tried his skydance.

And at the end of three days of Bird Fair one feels one might want a bit of medical attention.

 

Thanks to everyone, many of them volunteers, who make the Bird Fair such fun and such a success every year. I’ve been to loads of Bird Fairs, I guess I have  easily passed 50 days Bird Fair attendance, but these were Henry’s first three days. He loved it. He’ll be back provided he can dodge the guns, traps and poisons – but then again he is now satellite-tagged so we will know where he ends up.

Good luck, Henry, on your travels. We’ll be catching up with you again in a while.

Later today (1800), how to respond to the Daily Telegraph, and tomorrow, a few thoughts on the Bird Fair.
