Roll on July 10! It's looking promising for another superb line-up of speakers at Global Birdfair 2026

                                                              

Is that a Wren or is it a Heron? Birders try out the optical gear at a previous Birdfair

WITH the big weekend little more than two months away, the organisers of Global Birdfair have unveiled a taster of  some of the talks that will feature.

Among the speakers on the opening day, Friday July 10, will be old favourites Keith Betton and Martin Kelsey, while the RSPB's Jenny Weston is due to describe the organisation's collaborative efforts to save the Steppe Eagle, an endangered migratory species.

Also likely to be of interest will be a presentation in which Lloyd Scott will discuss the Campaign Against Bird Slaughter's ongoing efforts to halt bird-poaching at bird migration hotspots in the Mediterranean.

Below is a list of some of what has, provisionally, been arranged for the Avocet lecture theatre on Day 1, but much fuller information is on Global Birdfair's own website: Global BirdFair.
