#WorldCurlewDay is just a few days away on Sun 21 Apr, and Jonathan Pinnick from our team at Lough Erne is celebrating early, out doing the first bird survey of the season today. Unfortunately no #Curlew spotted on this patch this morning but heard calling over the lough. RSPB NI

News just in! We had 1st #Curlew nest yesterday! The prize for earliest nest in #Curlew LIFE project areas goes to RSPB Lower Lough Erne Islands nature reserve, on 1 of the islands. Congrats to the early birds ❤️ 📷 . Matches last year's record of 1st eggs 8 April at Glenwherry

We've welcomed people working in #Curlew conservation from around the UK and Ireland to our project area in Glenwherry, Northern Ireland, this weekend, to share information together. Pic is our conservation officer Katie Gibb explaining how we work here in Glenwherry.

The call of the #curlew is a sure sign of spring, and it's a sound the team are hearing more and more often at Ysbyty Ifan and Hiraethog. Have you heard it yet?

While the #Curlews are away, our teams will play... mainly with diggers! We've been working with farmers & landowners in our project areas over the winter to make more habitat improvements for the birds, like these scrapes at Hadrian's Wall. Perfect Curlew cafes! 📷 Ian Cole RSPB

Our folk who attended the Curlew Action fieldworkers' conference shared some of the highlights with the wider team yesterday. Sounds like so many brilliant conversations took place and connections made. Here are some of our attendees with Mary Colwell.📷Curlew Action #Curlew

We’re making a short film over the winter with advice for farmers on how they can help #Curlews to breed successfully on their land. We were out filming at Ysbyty Ifan & Hiraethog, our project area here in north Wales, focusing on ditch blocking and rush cutting.

Rydyn ni’n gwneud ffilm fer dros y gaeaf i gynghori ffermwyr sut mae helpu #Gylfinirod i fridio’n llwyddiannus ar eu tir. Roedden ni’n ffilmio yn Ysbyty Ifan a Hiraethog, ardal ein prosiect yng ngogledd Cymru, gyda ffocws ar flocio ffosydd a thorri brwyn.

Annual leave well used, to knit up the wonderful curlew hat from Curlews in crisis 💙

We protected 53 #Curlew nests with temporary electric fencing in 2023, inc 15 at our project area in Conwy. It worked well. 86% of eggs in our fenced nests here in Wales hatched successfully. curlewlife.org/2023/11/curlew… 📷Jake Stephen
