Our AGM will provide members with information on GOS’s activities over the past year, our financial status and current membership. We will also confirm / reappoint committee members (and would welcome hearing from anyone who would like to join the committee).
Following the AGM, Owain Gabb will provide a summary of ten years of ringing at Natural Resources Wales’s Oxwich Marsh National Nature Reserve. During this period almost 50,000 birds have been caught at the marsh by Gower Ringing Group, providing a huge amount of information on seasonal patterns of use, timing of local migration and site fidelity in both breeding and wintering birds. The occasional rarity and local scarcity has been captured, including (memorably) a little bunting, two wrynecks and currently a total of 26 yellow-browed warblers.
We will meet again in the rooms at St Paul’s Church, off De La Beche Road, Sketty. There is ample parking. It is £1 on the door to cover room hire.
