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

Our curlews love squidgy wetlands and so here we are rewetting a bog and creating scrapes ready for when they return to breed in spring. #WorldWetlandsDay

As a thank you to everyone who’s supported the release of Simmerdim this year, here’s a new film combining one of my curlewsounds recordings from Geltsdale, Cumbria, with RSPB curlew video footage from the same location by Nick Rodd!

If you haven't heard 'Simmerdim: curlewsounds' yet, we heartily recommend giving it a listen. And better yet, all proceeds go to curlew conservation (it would make a great Christmas present for the bird-lover in your life). Congratulations Merlyn Driver

So far you’ve helped Simmerdim raise several thousand for curlews (£6000 already with the RSPB’s Curlew Recovery Programme, with more coming), and it’s been streamed half a million times on spotify alone 🙏 Please keep supporting! It’s a great xmas gift…

Thanks to Ted Gioia for including Simmerdim curlewsounds in his favourite 100 recordings of 2022! 🙏 #aoty

I've been with my Dad, working from Dorset for 2 weeks, so extra nice to come home to find 'Simmerdim', a collection of songs inspired by the soulful and stirring call of the #curlew . Thank you so much Merlyn Driver and Samantha Lee for all that you are doing to save the species
