Birdfair at Rutland Water.
The annual Birdfair in the UK is this weekend.
It's described as the Glastonbury of the bird watching world and will attract around 20,000 visitors over the weekend. I hope to attend on Sunday as it is a 250 mile round trip and I am working in the morning.
I had my first visit there last year and had a lovely day... the highlight was meeting up with a Birdforum member I had become friends with online from Borneo.
