Just a reminder that Dr Anne Brenchley will be talking about 'The Breeding Birds of North Wales' this Wednesday, February 19th, at 7.30pm in Welshpool Methodist Hall. This is one of the MWT Bird Group talks, and everyone is very welcome to attend, whether or not they are MWT members. Refreshments are included in the £2 admission, and there are ample opportunities to chat with like-minded folk in a friendly, informal atmosphere.
There is a very good programme of talks for the rest of the year, which can be found on the drop-down menu on this (Bird Blog) website.
We hope to see you on Wednesday.
