Details
Pensthorpe Conservation Trust are hosting a Pensthorpe Bird & Wildlife Fair, here at Pensthorpe – showcasing why Norfolk is renowned as ‘the birdwatching capital of Britain’.
Sponsored by local nature businesses Cley Spy, in Glandford, and WILD Sounds & Books, in Salthouse, the Pensthorpe Bird & Wildlife Fair will feature guest speakers, demonstrations, walks and talks, and book signings. The event is a celebration of nature-spotting in Norfolk and will bring together experts in the fields of optic equipment, wildlife-inspired art and crafts, books and wildlife and nature holidays.
April and May are the peak times for spring bird migration so the event provides a weekend for birders to visit and stay in Norfolk, right in the middle of the busy migratory period.
