My first trip to the birdfair in several years was an enjoyable way to spend the day and it was good to see so many friends on site. Somehow I managed to limit myself to one purchase, despite being very tempted by many books and a good few foreign holidays! The birds were pretty good as well, with 2 Ospreys showing well on the deck and in flight from the watchpoint, a Gargeney and a Scaup from the reserve centre, a Bullfinch and a Greenshank.
