It was great to present a talk about the Natural Heritage of the Blaenavon Landscape to members of the Gwent Ornithological Society last week at Goytre Village Hall. The society is close to my heart having been a member since I was fourteen years of age, so that's over 50 years ago.
My talk was based on my naturalist activities in this post industrial landscape. Whilst it focused on birds it also included some rare plants and insects as well as promoting this landscape as an important pond area with many wetland features.
Many thanks to all that attended.
