Birdfair 2011: Friday 19th – Sunday 21st August

2010 was a good year!

NHBS are off to Rutland Water again this month for Birdfair 2011.

We look forward to seeing you all there again – as usual you will encounter a great range of books covering ornithology from all angles: field guides, monographs, avian science, photography; plus a wide selection of books concerning British and World wildlife: entomology, wildlife travel, natural history writing and much more.

You’ll also be able to browse a huge range of wildlife conservation equipment and field kit – and we are hoping you can come and chat with NHBS Ambassador, Nick Baker at the stand about all things wild, and see how he got on with the Stealth Gear One Man Chair Hide – probably on the Saturday (time to be confirmed…*CONFIRMED, see times here*)!

Come and see us in Marquee: 2, at Stands 15, 33, 34 and meet the authors that will be visiting the NHBS stand to sign copies of their books.

NHBS would like to thank all our customers at Birdfair 2010 who helped make it a great escape from the office and a lot of fun!

And we would like to thank the organisers for giving us 1st Place in the Best Stand Awards – commercial (see picture below).

We enjoyed meeting you and we hope you enjoyed browsing our books and wildlife equipment – it was a busy and interesting weekend – made all the more interesting by some classic British weather! – and we hope most of you found what you were looking for.  Remember to get in touch if there’s anything you wanted that we were unable to bring with us…

Here are some pictures of NHBS at Birdfair 2010. Click on the images below to enlarge:

The equipment bestsellers at this year’s Birdfair were small items for entomology:

Bug Box Magnifying Pot – great for freshwater sampling, examining insects and other invertebrates.

Entomological Collecting Pots – for holding small invertebrates for examination, they also fit our Pooter so you can swap pots as you collect things. Sold as singles, or in packs of 5.

Pooter – for collecting small arthropods for identification and examination. An entomology essential!
