Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust Bird Group

If you're interested in birds then why not come along to the next Montgomeryshire Bird Group meeting? The Group meets on the third Wednesday of each month from September until March, usually at Welshpool Methodist Hall at 7:30pm.

A wide range of speakers are invited to talk on all things ornithological, from local to global perspectives, of interest to beginners and accomplished birdwatchers.

Everyone is welcome, and the entrance fee of £3 includes the lecture (free for under 18s), light refreshments, and the opportunity to chat with like-minded folk and the speakers themselves.  We usually have a raffle, so please bring a prize if you are able to. £1 per ticket. We look forward to seeing you there!
