Wonderful news! 🎉🎉🎉

I created curlewsounds because I wanted to contribute to wider efforts to stop the magical sound of the curlew from disappearing from the UK.

I’m so pleased that one of the soundscapes has been nominated for the 2022 Sound of the Year Awards in the ‘Disappearing Sounds’ category.

Today is #WorldCurlewDay !

Did you know Merlyn Driver created a whole album for our long-billed friends?

Including Curlew-inspired original tracks and wondrous soundscapes, it's raised over £10k for Curlew conservation efforts 💙

Great to see the #Curlew representing the sound of nature. Last spring saw the launch of the curlewsounds album, starring the curlews at our project sites around the UK (along with songs by a range of musicians). Hard to believe it's almost a year ago! curlewsoundsproject.org

🎶Loved today's BBC Radio 3 #Words & #Music to accompany BBC One BBC iPlayer #WildIsles flagship UK #nature series
🪶Particularly enjoyed #curlew RSPB curlewsounds work by Cosmo Sheldrake

The sound of curlews captures wildness, but in British and Irish folklore, it’s also long been seen as a bad omen. Check out the subtle but powerful way in which these two segments of award-winning TV use curlew sound to evoke wildness (and freedom), but also danger #curlews
