3 Curlews landing, AV Cross

Day 17

 

We are collaborating with the British Trust for Ornithology to produce a film on curlew observation, to help those keen to undertake curlew monitoring in the future. Local wildlife photographer Ben Osborne has been filming curlews throughout their breeding season, both in the Shropshire Hills and Welsh Marches and also on a managed grouse moor in Wensleydale.

 

Curlew Fact

Curlew chicks have surprisingly big feet and long legs. Their legs are big enough when newly hatched to be fitted with the normal adult bird ring.
