| Mud, glorious mud - nothing quite like it for cooling the blood |
'SLIPPERY underfoot' - that's how one visitor to this year's Birdfair understated conditions on Saturday.
Following torrential rain the previous day, large sections of the showground were a quagmire.
It made some trade stalls and catering stands problematical to access, and there were numerous instances of motorists and motorhomes requiring assistance after becoming stuck in the mud.
But the show - birding's equivalent to Glastonbury - must go on . . . and it did.
Most - including exhibitors and lecturers - saw the funny side.
"This is the first time I've delivered a talk wearing galoshes,"joked author Tessa Boase from East Sussex.
"I'll be handing out snorkels later," quipped Norfolk-based writer and tour-leader Mark Cocker.
The main thing is that everyone had . . . a muddy good time!
