Thousands set to descend on Global Birdfair at new venue
The County's famous fair is being held at Lyndon Top, near the Lyndon Nature Reserve
Nature lovers and birdwatchers from all around the world are in Rutland to take in the sights and sounds of the county's famous Global Birdfair.
Around 30,000 people usually attend the internationally-renowned birding event, which will this year be held at Lyndon Top, instead of the County Showground.
The three-day event starts today, with main exhibition marquees opening from 9am until 5:30pm.
Catering and bar stalls will open until 9pm on Friday and Saturday.
Last year's event raised $120,000 for the project Sustain Forest Life, and 100,000 Euros were raised for wildlife conservation in 2022.
