Had a great time at my first @globalbirdfair.bsky.social talking about/signing my lynx book & screening my snow leopard short film. Met some old friends & lots of new ones! #coexistence #globalbirdfair @pelagic.bsky.social @snowleopardcons.bsky.social @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social 🌳 🌿 🌍🦤🧪🦊📚💙

As always, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting @globalbirdfair.bsky.social yesterday. A chance to catch up with friends and fellow conservationists from across the country. The talks by @theurbanbirder.bsky.social and @rspb.bsky.social Youth Council were also a lot of fun!

When you blend in too well with your stand setup… 😄 One of our team members couldn’t resist surprising a few unsuspecting visitors at the Global Birdfair this weekend! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and to the organizers for making it all possible! @globalbirdfair.bsky.social

Great to meet so many keen Pan Species Listers at the @globalbirdfair.bsky.social this weekend. Our combined list for the 3 days so far is 656 species but we bet there are more to add from other folk. Let us know if you can add anything to this panspecieslisting.com/view-list.ht...

@globalbirdfair.bsky.social you were amazing. Until next time ❤️

A superb weekend @globalbirdfair.bsky.social at Lyndon Top, Rutland. Bioblitzes with @panspecieslisting.bsky.social a highlight. Also Gropper and Yaffle in the hand, meeting lots of friends, books, art, BF quiz, cracking talk on seeing Clouded Leopard, and spending too much money on camera gear 😳😅

We have returned from @globalbirdfair.bsky.social - thank you to the organisers for such a fantastic event! It was great to catch up with everyone and celebrate all things wildlife. @beccasbutterfli.bsky.social @senizdoesnature.bsky.social @greeneindy.bsky.social @ajaytegala.bsky.social

Such a blast to see so many fantastic folks at @globalbirdfair.bsky.social, catching up with old pals and making new ones - huge thanks to Tim and Penny and the team for organising such a joyous gathering of fabulous humans!

Osprey, playing Otter cubs, giving a talk on Pond Life with Nick Baker, @panspecieslisting.bsky.social bioblitz catching up with friends, meeting wildlife folk, visiting interesting stalls and talks at @globalbirdfair.bsky.social this year Not bad for "just a High Carbon Wildlife Holiday show!" lol
