First, we have an in person indoor meeting on Tuesday next week, 4th Feb, 7:30 at Pencoed Rugby Club [upstairs room]. Local birder Amy Schwartz will be giving a presentation on “Eastern Australia”, which will no doubt feature some antipodean avifauna. The venue is just N. of J.35 of the M4 in Velindre Road, CF35 5PB

Second: We have arranged a bird watching walk on February 16th (10 a.m. – 1 p.m.) in conjunction with the Restore the Thaw project team. They have set up an eventbrite invitation for attendees. If you are interested, please follow the link below. Numbers will be restricted, so get in early if you are keen to come along. As per usual, wet weather gear and sturdy walking boots will be required. We may be able to loan binoculars if needed.
