The partnership between the hotels Casa Velha do Palheiro, Choupana Hills and Quinta do Furão, the Windsor travel agency and the leisure company Madeira Wind Birds, named Madeira Birdwatching Experience, will be present with a stand at the British Birdwatching Fair 2006, from the 18th to the 20th of August.

This Birdfair is considered the event of the year bird and wildlife enthusiasts and it is held annually on Egleton Nature Reserve, Rutland Water, Oakham. It has been attracting a growing number of visitants with last year fair reaching the 18 thousand visitants and 300 exhibitors.

Each year the Birdlife International chooses an international conservation issue to support with funds raised by visitant's entrances, the exhibitor's fees, by sponsors and by the Birdfair auction where exhibitors may donate their products or services. This year the conservation project chosen is the Pacific Parrots.

Madeira Birdwatching Experience, partly supported by Madeira's Promotional Bureau, aware of the importance of Nature conservation, has donated a package week in Madeira for a couple, rotating through the partner hotels and 3 days of nature tours included, that will be auctioned during this year's fair. For more information, please visit them at the Birdfair, marquee 1, stand 57.
