CONFIRMATION has come from organiser Tim Appleton that Global Birdfair will return next year following its successful debut this summer.

As previously, it will be staged at the Rutland showground on the outskirts of Oakham.

The dates are July 14-16, 2023.

Last year, the number of attendees exceeded 11,600, most attending one or more of the 132 lectures staged in three different marquees and the Osprey theatre.

The event hosted 245 exhibitors across various sectors including conservation, art, media, photography, books, optical equipment, nature tourism, local produce, clothing and bird food.

More than 130 volunteers gave their time to help ensure the smooth running of the event.

Sponsors included the RSPB, Birdguides, Viking Optical, Anglian Water, Swarovski Optik, Zeiss, Sony UK, Vive Andalucia, Park Cameras, Leica, BBC Wildlife Magazine and Rockjumper.
