Wildlife in Our Welsh Parish
Wildlife in Our Welsh Parish
by William Condry (1918 - 1998)
Published by Eglwysfach WI, a stapled booklet with 32 pages and b/w photographs & illustrations. Forward by R.S.Thomas (formerly vicar of this parish).
Written to commemorate the Institute's 70th anniversary in 1993, this study of the wildlife of Ysgubor y Coed in Ceredigion (comprising the villages of Furnace, Eglwysfach and Glandyfi, along with Cwm Einion and Ynys Hir RSPB) is a fascinating look at the countryside today. A famous naturalist, author and Guardian columnist, the author was the first warden at RSPB Ynys-hir and a staunch supporter of the WI, often describing himself as "proud to be a WI husband!"
Published in Welsh and English it proved to be so popular that we have had it reprinted and it's available to anyone who would like a copy.
Price is £1.75 + £1.00 p & p. Please send a cheque for this amount to Wendy Fuller, Pandy, Furnace, Machynlleth, Powys, SY20 8PJ
