# Event Details

- **Event Name**: In Conversation Jon Gower & Gary Harper
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Jun, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: We are excited to welcome Jon Gower to Llandovery to discuss his latest book, "Birdland," a joyous celebration of Britain’s rich avian life. Jon will be in conversation with Gary Harper, the County Bird Recorder for Carmarthenshire.

In Birdland, Jon a lifelong birder, explores our intimate connection with the bird life around us. From the symphonic song of the wren to the clack of a puffin’s beak and from epic migrations to sunset murmurations, birds are commonplace miracles.
But all is not well in Birdland. Jon charts the many changes to Britain’s bird life over the last 50 years, as the countryside has seemingly emptied and in many ways fallen silent. He considers the effects of the climate emergency, the decline in biodiversity and warming oceans on birdlife and looks at work being done to mitigate these developments. But above all it is a celebration of birds and their being, and a call to arms to defend them.

Jon grew up in Llanelli, Wales and studied English at Cambridge University. A former BBC Wales Arts and Media correspondent, he has been making documentary programmes for television and radio for many decades. He has over thirty books to his name, in both Welsh and English. The Story of Wales, was published to accompany a landmark BBC series broadcast. His last book, The Turning Tide, A Biography of the Irish Sea was a fascinating account of this pivotal, fascinating stretch of water. 
There'll be time for questions and books to buy, Jon will happily sign them for you.
