For #worldcurlewday
Curlews over Pentre Ifan.
The haunting cry of this bird always feels to be a call from another land and when heard time always falls away and one is filled with melancholy and joy in equal measure.
Do support @curlewaction who work tirelessly to save this bird.

An illustration I created a few months back of a little Curlew family as a entry for
@CurlewAction World Curlew Day art competition, it was a super fun piece to create.

Could the Curlew call win the prize for the most incredible bird call?

We think so 🙌

Jack Dowd captured this remarkable call and shared it with us ✨

The Lincs population sits as an important link between the uplands, Derwent Valley NNR and E Anglia. To save our lowland Curlews it needs to be strengthened. @CurlewAction @curlewcalls @curlewrecovery @Natures_Voice @_BTO @NaturalEngland @TonyJuniper @LincsWildlife

At the weekend, I was discussing the joys and wonders of ponds at Spurn MigFest with Lauren Kennedy from @britishdragonflysociety (the @curlewaction stand was next to door to their stand), and the benefit of putting one in the front garden!

Today is World Curlew Day 🐦

It’s a chance to celebrate this iconic yet declining bird and raise awareness of its importance. Curlews play a vital role in estuary ecosystems, and protecting them helps care for these special landscapes for the future.
