Birdfair for everyone!
We know it can be difficult to get to Birdfair, especially if you live far away; so this year we're video-blogging the fair so you can get a taste of what Britain's biggest birding event is like. We've joined forces with acclaimed producer Richard Chambers, and you'll find some of us wandering around with a large camera trying to persuade the great, the good and the public to talk to us. The urbanbirder David Lindo is presenting — so if you spot us come and say hello. Barring serious technical troubles there will be a film to watch at the end of each day.
