Global Birdfair 2026 (one of our favourite events in the calendar, and where we are exhibiting again!) runs from 10–12 July, turning Lyndon Top Caravan Park, which sits on the shores of Rutland Water, into the birdworld’s answer to Glastonbury. It is a vibrant summer gathering with expert talks, travel ideas, photography, food stalls and the buzz of thousands of wildlife enthusiasts. This year’s headline focus is São Tomé, whose ancient forests shelter three of the world’s rarest birds: the Dwarf Ibis, the São Tomé Grosbeak and Newton’s Fiscal, all under pressure from habitat loss and hunting. BirdLife International is working with local hunters who now act as Agents of Change, using their knowledge of the forest to locate endangered species, curb illegal hunting and build sustainable livelihoods. This community-led model is already making a difference. Visitors can discover the full story at the show, and the link below offers a quick way to secure tickets and join a weekend that celebrates wildlife while supporting vital conservation.
