Welsh Orn Society Annual Conference. 9th November, Caersws. A new link has been added to 'Useful Links' page. For those that have not been before, it is always an excellent event - this year the programme is very relevant to Breconshire too with its wealth of wetlands. Members and non-members welcome. In the interests of green and economic travel, if anyone wants a lift from the Brecon area give me a ring 01874 658351, first-cum-first -served basis.
