We arrive with 10 minutes to opening time, and get in to the fair without too much trouble.
The first port of call is the Swarovski stall, which is high up so you can look through their new ATXG5 right across the water and I must say this is a really top bit of kit.
Bird Ringing |
Birds that were ringed while we watched, a couple of Blue tits, Robin, Chiffchaff, Reed Warbler.
Moving on to the main show tents the first celebrity we see is Mike Dilger who appears on the one show, he is talking to Johnathan scott who films wild life, I have a quick talk with Mike and Brian takes a photo of us.
The beer tent |
It is a really nice hot sunny day, but the down side to that is it is to warm inside the tents, you are glad to get out in to any breeze you can find, failing that the beer tent seems to help.
Next tent and we find Johnny Kingdom, we always have a laugh when we get to his stall, another photo taken and we move on to the next tent to see who is doing any book signing today.
We missed Bill Oddie the last two years that we came, but not this year as he is sitting here signing his book, Brian buys his book and gets it signed, he asks if he can have a photo with him,and he is happy to oblige.
I brought myself a Butterfly & Moth guide as I need to know a bit more about them.
Bill Oddie |
Robert is the one that buys himself a picture most years, as that is he's thing, we missed him this year.
We have seen all we need to see now, so we walk around the the trails and find a Brimstone Butterfly and get a photo of it, it's the first of the year for Jimmy & me.
We had already seen Osprey flying over at the fair,but this is a better view here.
Now we drive round the water's to try for Black Tern, we haven't been round the whole site before, and we soon see how nice a place this is, we are now at the North Basin, it is packed with people enjoying the sun & views over the water, with boats sailing up & down, a lovely scene ,but no luck with the Terns.
Now it is really time to head home,another great day and a nice party to look forward to tonight.
