Welsh Ornithological Society Conference 2024 - Action for Welsh Birds

The theme of this year’s conference is ‘Action for Welsh Birds’ and the talks will focus upon what grass root birders, volunteers and communities are doing to conserve birds in Wales. We’ll hear about work on Black Grouse, Green Sandpipers, Swifts, White-tailed Eagles, wintering Woodcock, colour-ringing waders and farming with birds. Many of you reading this will have participated in the 2022-23 Wales Rook Survey organised by WOS and the results of that survey will be shared at the conference. BTO Cymru and RSPB Cymru will be there too and will bring us up to date with the latest news from both organisations.

Lunch, teas and coffees are included in the price and there will be an opportunity to visit the many stands during breaks from the talks and to win some fantastic prizes in the raffle and the silent auction. You’ll also be able to purchase and take home a copy of The Birds Of Wales/Adar Cymru for a bargain price of £20 (rrp £50).

WOS President, Iolo Williams, will present this year’s Lifetime Achievement and Student Awards and he’ll end the day with his reflections on the conference and, no doubt, on the challenges we must overcome together to save nature in Wales.
