MWT Bird Group, next talk on Wednesday

After a break due to Covid, the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust Bird Group is flourishing again! Thanks to Lottie Glover and Clive Faulkner for bringing it back. 

The Bird Group meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the month (in winter) in the Methodist Hall, High Street, Welshpool, at 7.30 pm. All are welcome: entry is £2.50 including hot drinks and snacks, plus the chance to meet other local wildlife enthusiasts.

The next presentation is this Wednesday, 21st December, by Simon Boyes: "Birds in a Rapidly Changing World." I will focus on some winners and losers, both locally and further afield, with images from our leading bird photographers. 

For the full winter programme so far, click on the BIRD GROUP tab at the top of the page.
