Thank you to all the Birdlife Australia members who said hello and mentioned my ad in “Birdlife” magazine.
The inaugural Australasian Bird Fair 2014 proved to be both an interesting and challenging experience.
Interesting… due to all the fabulous people who visited the Art Marquee and exchanged stories of birdwatching experiences, and our fellow artists who were welcoming, hard working and inspiring.
Challenging… due to extremely hot weather which meant guests were in danger of overheating in the marquee.
Support future events like this, if you can. The preservation of birds and their habitat is a really important indication of our commitment to looking after our planet. And any event promoting the care of indicator species like birds is worth investing in as a visitor, stall-holder or volunteer.
