Yesterday I went to the British Bird Fair which is in Oakham, Rutland. It is a three day event and has been happening for the past 26 years. I thoroughly enjoyed myself yesterday and I can honestly say it was one of the best days of my life!
I managed to meet lots of great people, get their autograph, have a chat with them and have my photo taken with them. There were also lots of brilliant exhibits to look around which were very interesting! It was also lovely to have a chat with people that I would normally speak to on social media programs like Facebook and Twitter.
Yesterday I also went to a few talks too which I found very enjoyable. These were talks by Lucy McRobert, Darren Woodhead and Chris Packham. It was a lot to cram into one day but I really enjoyed myself and here are some photos.

One thing I also did yesterday was meet a fellow young wildlife enthuiast and blogger, Findlay Wilde. Findlay does a whole manner of brilliant work and you can see more here on his wildlife blog, which includes his latest post about last Sundays Hen Harrier day – http://wildeaboutbirds.blogspot.co.uk/
So glad you enjoyed it Georgia! It was great to meet you too and have a quick chat. I’m sure we’ll speak lots more soon.

It was a brilliant Birdfair and it was amazing to finally meet you. I hope you can come and visit some time as we are not that far away from you. Thanks for including the picture of Harry and keeping people thinking about our struggling Hen Harriers.
