Saw this yesterday and wondering how this may go down given the location and the not brilliant attendance of the last two at Mannington Hall.

HMMMM!
Never been a favourite spot for me.

Might be a tad too family orientated and wildfowling collection for your hardened independent birder / twitcher / togger.
On the plus side the coffee and food is pretty darn good. Still, a nice day out for the young uns and a ride round on the Safari train.

One of the biggest problems for the last bird fair (and I presume will be the case for this one) was the time of year. I don't know many birders who went to it mainly because it was in the middle of spring and everyone was out birding. I know I wouldn't want to waste a days birding in the middle of spring walking around a marquee. Surely there is a better time of year for it?

food is good, granted.
I have always been anti collections, just me, not an evangelist, just don't like them.

Are bird fairs and the like really aimed at those covered by the all-embracing terminology "birders" A glance at the major promoter's website would suggest not in my view.
