Now, in the NW sky.
And a curlew’s Latin name is, in part, ‘new 🌙 moon’ for the shape of its beak

Curlew Recovery South Lakes Here in India today, I saw 6-7 crows restlessly attacking the incubating Black-winged Stilts to steal their eggs.

Curlew Recovery South Lakes a North Pennines field worker found a Curlew nest moments after seeing a Fox in close proximity.
Their team have fenced it but that doesn’t stop the C.Crow.

Curlew Recovery South Lakes Crows are so clever. I hope the curlews and their eggs are ok. That is why a critical mass of curlews is important to dilute the intensity of the attack.

Crows are a real threat to curlew eggs & chicks.⚔️ here's today's footage from a nest cam of 2 brave curlews valiantly defending their eggs against crow attack 📹 #thankstoourgamekeepers

Sun down on #WorldCurlewDay

1/3 Tomorrow, we will celebrate the #worldcurlewday . Curlews are one of our most charismatic and beloved coastal birds, and yet they are in a serious danger of becoming extinct.

And we’re off 📣 First nest this season found and fenced at lunchtime - she’ll probably lay 2 more eggs to complete a clutch of 4 over the next 4 days

I'm looking for someone organised and passionate about helping nature to volunteer 2-4 times per month to help with admin tasks related to the breeding wader survey. Based at the RSPB Lancaster office. volunteer.rspb.org.uk/opportunities/…
