A wonderful piece on tonight's BBC Front Row by Julian May on the plight of the curlew - 'Simmerdim:Curlew Sounds' a double album originated by Merlyn Driver, featuring outstanding musicians, including the curlew itself - and supported by the RSPB -
Great BBC Front Row piece on the Curlew as an inspiration in art for, among others, Yeats, Heaney, Dylan Thomas and Merlyn Driver.
I would add the Harp advertisement in the 80s that began with an homesick emigrant in the gulf 'You won't hear the cry of the Curlew out here...'
