2010 Rutland Birdfair 20th-22nd August

Described as the bird-watcher's Glastonbury, Birdfair encompasses the whole spectrum of the bird-watching industry whilst at the same time supporting global bird conservation. This is the event of the year if you're into birds and wildlife. There are hundreds of stands selling the latest products for wildlife enthusiasts. You'll find everything, from scopes to sculptures, binoculars to bird food, eGuides to eco-holidays!

Every day we offer a packed programme of events. Three separate timetables boast a fantastic variety of lectures. The Events Marquee hosts quiz shows, question and answer sessions, exclusive book launches and family-based entertainment. The Birdfair Auction offers you the chance to bid for a whole host of lots, donated by our exhibitors, ranging from holidays, to artwork, to unique one-off experiences, with all the monies raised going directly to this year's Birdfair project.

The 2010 Birdfair will take place on 20, 21 & 22 August.

Saltholme RSPB Reserve Open

Saltholme RSPB Reserve, Teeside, North Yorkshire.

This newly opened RSPB reserve is well worth a visit having just visited it for the first time. It has an excellent visitor centre with café, toilets, shop, car park, adventure play area as well as a pond dipping zone. There are three hides over looking various pools, meadows and reed beds. It's just a stone's throw from Middlesbrough's heavy industry and the famous Transporter Bridge. Be amazed by what you can see in the heart of industrial Tees Valley. Whirling flocks of birds, delicate orchids, dazzling dragonflies...it's right here on the edge of town.
