British Birdfair!

Had a great weekend at the British Birdfair last weekend with Dylan and John who'd come over from South Africa, and Greg who'd come up from London. We were all there representing Birding Ecotours for the event, talking to a great many people about our exciting range of upcoming tours around the world. It was a really enjoyable weekend catching up with familiar faces and lots of new ones too.

Thanks to everyone who came and said hello!

As well as been a great event for meeting people it was also great to be able to help contribute towards the conservation aims of the fair. This years focus was on protecting migrating birds in the eastern Mediterranean.
