Ecological monitoring and conservation at Coed Ty Llwyd, Lisvane
Coed Ty Llwyd is an ancient woodland near Lisvane Reservoir visitor centre. It was purchased in the winter of 2023-4, for the purposes of conservation, research and environmental education. In this talk Dr. Rob Thomas will give a flavour of the diversity of wildlife living in and around the wood, as well as some of the interesting challenges of looking after an ancient woodland in a rapidly changing landscape.
The meeting will be held online using Zoom. You need to register in advance in order to attend, and this can be done via the following link:

Cardiff New Year Birdwatch
The Cardiff Naturalists' Society have again invited Wildlife Trust members to come along to their annual New Year Birdwatch. Led by Rob and Linda Nottage, the day will start at the car park in Cosmeston Country Park, on Lavernock Road Penarth. (what3words: relaxed.dressings.telephone).
In the morning’s circuit of the park, the main interest will be the waterfowl on the two lakes, but we’ll also look out for birds and other wildlife in the reedbeds, grassland and woods. The route is a mixture of tarmac tracks, firm paths and possibly a little muddy or wet ground – but no stiles. Dogs are welcome but must be kept under close control. At the carpark there is a café serving hot and cold food, drinks, and toilets.
How long you stay is entirely up to you, but in the afternoon we may visit the banks of the River Ely in Penarth and proceed to the Cardiff Bay Barrage. It may depend on recent sightings and the weather!
