Field trip Sat 5th Jan

The original destination of Blashford Lakes has been replaced by Slimbridge. I think south Hampshire is too far this time of year - the days are too short.
I plan to depart for Slimbridge at 08:30 from the usual place at St Margaret's Rd, Whitchurch, Cardiff. Please let me know if you want to come. I have a limited number of cut price guest vouchers for non-members of WWT.

Some photos from the 50th EGBR launch evening.

Thanks to Graham Powell who took and provided these.

John Wilson starts with a brief history of recording in Glamorgan

Richard Smith continues with a pictorial history of the development of the report itself
