It is the second day of the North West Bies Watching Festival and it is very busy here at the moment. We had 1100 people in yesterday which I was really please with as we had a lot of rain after 1pm, but it meant all the talks were vey well attended and we struggled to get everyone in to see David Lindo. It is a lovely bright day today, so hopefully these winds will ease and it will be a busy afternoon. We always anticipate 2000 visitors for the Bird Fair which is a really nice number for everyone to get a great experience and all the exhibitors are happy.
David Lindo is such a nice guy - very down to earth and I have enjoyed chatting to him. He has signed a load of books for us so that we can sell them after the event and he even put a separate message in each one which I thought was very kind of him. He is going straight home tonight but hopefully he will return in the future and come and visit us again.
I am taking a couple of days off next week for working all weekend, but don't forget the deadline for the autumn photography competition judging is 30 November, so a couple of days left to submit a few last minute entries.
