Anyone else going? It's on 11-12th May in Edinburgh.

Haven't been to a birdfair before, not sure what to expect but looking forward to it. I have been to BASC events though.

Cool. I hear there are walks and things like that so is taking my binoculars a must or is it more of a closed event?

I would take your bins, if there are slide shows etc from the back of the crowd they can be useful even if you don't do any birding.

Hopefully it will be a wee bit larger than last year. Enjoyed last year's all the same. Did one of the guided walks and was surprised just how many Nuthatches there were around. Might take my camera this year, as I'm not needing to buy quite as many books this time around.

Had a great time at The Scottish Burdfair even though the weather wasn't perfect though Saturdays forecast was better then yesterday a lot of folk did wear their binoculars even me though I forgot them yesterday really enjoyed the Ringing Demos even though most of them were all Goldfinches but did see Suskin a new bird for me and a Nuthatch being ringed as well as a GS Woodpecker defiantly going next year.
