Curlew Cam

Curlew Cam 2020 now live!

We are excited that Curlew Cam is back (with a warning to those who find it distractingly addictive). Lots of thought and effort has gone into government guidelines for work and social distancing in achieving this, but with the help of dedicated farming partners Wynford, Joyce, and Trish we have succeeded.  Our spirits are raised, and we hope yours will be too.

This breeding Curlew territory in Wales has history.  It was the feature of a beautiful short documentary film by Billy Clapham called Keeper of the Call.  Billy wanted to make a film about Curlews as his final piece and contacted Curlew Ambassador Mary Colwell Hector who kindly put him in touch with us.  The film featured on Springwatch last year and was nominated for several awards at film festivals internationally. You can click here to watch the film.

To get to know more about this Curlew Pair and the story of this Curlew territory over the past few years look out for alerts on social media and our website. You can also head over to Ruffled Feathers, to read the history of this curlew pair from Ornithologist, Tony Cross. If you want to add your name to our contacts list to be one of the first to receive updates please email: curlewcountry@gwct.org.uk.

Our website has lots more detail on our pioneering curlew recovery work. Curlew Country has returned over 60 fully fledged chicks to their natural environment in the last 3 years.
