Bird Talk
A free talk by Michael Bell, from Nature Learn, on the birds he has been surveying in Co Donegal in the past six years. In partnership with ChangeMakers, we are holding a free evening talk on swifts, endangered birds and the simple things you can do to help our feathery friends in your own garden.
