Saving Swifts and Supporting Local Biodiversity
Glamorgan Birds is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting where Edward Mayer will present ‘Saving Swifts and Supporting Local Biodiversity’.
WOS is the national body which aims to unify birdwatchers and ornithologists across the whole of Wales. To do so, we actively support bird conservation in Wales, by funding research and encouraging publication of papers and articles related to birds in Wales. WOS represents affiliated local and county bird clubs and groups with the country agencies and Welsh Government to help conserve birds in Wales. We encourage students to present their studies to a wider body of birders with an annual Student Award. This is presented at our Annual Conference. We also support young and older birders alike, through Small Grants for research and fieldwork.

The Scarce and Rare report makes fascinating reading, with full details of three new species for Wales, a great collection of photos and updating of the list of scarce and rare species considered by WBRC. The 2022 Welsh Bird Report makes equally fascinating reading, with new longevity records for Kittiwake, Chough and House Sparrow and the seventh edition of the Checklist of the birds of Wales.
Here are some preliminary details of the 2023 competition – this post will be updated in April to confirm the full details. Watch this space!
Although there weren’t quite as many main section entries as in the previous two years, the quality was excellent, making life enjoyably challenging for the four shortlisting judges, who listed no fewer than 43 of the entries.

The 2022 Annual Conference was held at Aberystwyth University on Saturday 5th November. It was an excellent and thought-provoking day
