The first is the annual evening visit to Llanwonno to hear and hopefully see Nightjars. This is on Thurs 1st June. I can’t lead this one so Alan Rosney is kindly stepping in. As per usual, meet at 8:30 p.m. in the large dirt car park below the Brynffynon Hotel at ST031956. Bring a torch and insect repellent. Depending on where the birds are it may involve a walk of up to 1/2 mile along the narrow road. No particular need to let us  know in advance.

Then on Sunday 4th we have a trip to the RSPB Dinas reserve, north of Llandovery, hoping for Pied and Spotted Flycatchers, Redstart, Wood Warbler and many other woodland species. It’s quite a drive [75 miles from me] and takes about 2 hrs depending on where you come from. I suggest trying to get there by about 09:30. The reserve car park is at SN787470 about 1/2 mile south of Llyn Brianne reservoir, and is reached via a long winding narrow road running north from Llandovery via Rhandirmwyn. It would be useful to know who is coming on this one. I can offer a lift from St Margaret’s Road, Whitchurch for pick up at 07:30. Also anyone else willing to car share shd be there a bit before that. All plse let me know whether you are going straighgt there or not.
