Today is #WorldCurlewDay We have been working in partnership with @rspbcymru and others to help monitor the breeding population at Ysbyty Ifan as well as improving habitat in the area which feeds into the conservation effort.

Hooray hooray! Our brilliant bakers claimed 2nd & 3rd in Curlew Action #WorldCurlewDay Bake Off! Well done to Beth from Upper Lough Erne team & Ian from Geltsdale & Hadrian's Wall. Whaup Whaup! 👏🎂 (Our #Curlews weren't impressed... said they'd rather have a juicy worm😀🪱.)

And if you're in #Wales , please submit breeding season information about #Curlew on the portal hosted by Cofnod or, where there are recovery projects, direct to project staff/volunteers curlewwales.org/post/have-you-…

If you see #Curlews during breeding season please record sightings eg on BirdTrack. So important. Those records can help to target conservation actions, respond to development proposals in breeding areas, and build knowledge on areas where Curlews breed. bto.org/our-science/pr…

Nothing quite like the call of a #Curlew . They were recorded at our project areas for the album Simmerdim by Merlyn Driver, which has music from artists including David Gray, raising funds for #Curlew conservation. You can check it out and buy a copy 👉curlewsounds.bandcamp.com/album/simmerdi… 🎶

We have been reaching out to farmers & landowners to protect the few remaining breeding Curlew pairs in the Glenullin/Garvagh area.

If you have seen any Curlew in this area, please report all sightings to [email protected]

It's been lovely to see all the posts for #WorldCurlewDay ! Wonderful to see the amount of affection people have for these Red List birds.

We're celebrating #WorldCurlewDay with a thank you to farmers working with us. Here's Kit Acton, who farms at Hadrian's Wall in northern England. He trialled no-fence cattle collars to help create a good habitat for #Curlews on his farm 👉 curlewlife.org/2024/04/thank-… RSPB England
