Report a Curlew

YOU CAN HELP! Have you seen or heard a Curlew? Do you know where Curlew nest?

Curlew Country is racing against time to save our local Curlew from extinction. Curlew have evolved for thousands of years to keep their nest location secret. The first step in helping the birds is for our trained ornithologists to find the nests. We need to know where these birds have been sighted. Can you help us?
