Swallows just fledged, and 2 reminders

Many thanks to John Anderton for this fine portrait of two Swallows that left the nest this morning in an outhouse near Meifod. 

And two points to note:

There will be disturbance in front of the hide at Llyn Coed-y-Dinas this Tuesday and Wednesday (September 17th and 18th), as we (a MWT work party) will be working in front of the hide, raking the bank where the Snipe winter, trimming willows and reducing reeds.

Also, our opening Bird Group meeting is at 7.30 this Wednesday in the Methodist Hall, High Street, Welshpool. All are welcome to hear Chris Townsend as he shows us around the Outer Hebrides. The full Bird Group programme can be found at the top of this page: just click the tab marked Bird Group.
