Ancient Yews of Gwent

Abergavenny Community Orchard
Jeff Davies from the Abergavenny Community Orchard will give a talk on its aims and achievements since its founding.
Starlings - A Star Act
Robert Magee of Gwent Wildlife Trust presents an intriguing talk about these masters of murmuration and mimicry. With their undeserved reputation for being argumentative and greedy, the Starling is one of our most interesting birds. Highly sociable with a range of fascinating behaviours, this talk will give you a whole new perspective on this now threatened bird.
Please note that Tuesday 12th November is the correct date for this talk, not Fri, 22nd November as previously publicised.
