142 Global BirdFair 2025

Global BirdFair has wrapped up for another year, and Suzy shares her experiences of this incredible festival of nature.

The inspiring talks, interactive events, and vibrant community atmosphere made this year's event truly unforgettable (despite the searing heat)!

To capture the essence of the event, Suzy spoke with several attendees about their time at BirdFair and asked about a recent wildlife experience that brought them joy:

  • Charlie Bingham shared a frustrating yet beautiful sunset birding attempt

  • Chris Bell recounted a thrilling Wallcreeper sighting in Romania

  • Naomi Davis discussed their work monitoring pied flycatchers

  • Kelly Keegan finally spotted an elusive Blackcap

  • Tom Morath described a magical Barn Owl encounter

  • Stephen Moss reminisced about an extraordinary butterfly-filled day

  • Sarah Humphrey shared her joy of witnessing a full Nightingale breeding cycle

  • Jack Perks found beauty in a newly emerged dragonfly

Whether you're a seasoned birder or simply curious about the natural world, the Global Bird Fair offers something for everyone.

Join us as we relive the highlights and look forward to next year's gathering of passionate nature enthusiasts.
