The Spring 2025 newsletter is on its way to WOS members and Affiliate Groups. Once again, it’s a bumper 26-page edition, packed with articles on several different types of bird recording, community and project grants, news about Curlews in the breeding season, Swifts, the fascinating bird collection at the Welsh National Museum, Glamorgan Bird Club’s Big Bird Count and lots more. There’s news on the first successful application for the President’s Grant and it’s available for download on the website at https://birdsin.wales/e-newsletters/.

The image on the news post shows pupils at Ysgol Gynradd Eglwyswrw busy building nestboxes which is the subject of one of our Community Grants and the image below shows ring barking – part of the the Initiative for Nature Conservation Cymru (INCC) President’s Award project for a Willow Tit Habitat Improvement project at Llwyndewi Nature Reserve.
