Michael Leach talk at Bird Group on Wednesday 17th April

Just a reminder that on Wednesday 17th April , our speaker is Michael  Leach, who will be talking to us about "Owls of the World." Michael is a full-time author and photographer, with a passion for owls, and an excellent and popular speaker. Of the 250 owl species alive today, he has encountered more than half, and he will be telling us of his adventures with them around the globe over more than 20 years. Amongst those we 'meet', will be great horned, snowy, pygmy, great grey, spectacled and the biggest of them all - the deer-stalking eagle owl.

This is our last meeting of the season, and promises to be an excellent evening. It starts at 7.30, in Welshpool Methodist Hall as usual.

Everyone is welcome. Entry is only £2.50, and includes home-made refreshments.

Hope to see you there.
