Happy #WorldCurlewDay ! The call of the curlew is a well-loved soundtrack to the Dales, and Ingleborough is a stronghold for breeding curlews.

On this day 168 years ago, Emily Williamson was born. ⚡

At age 34, she founded the RSPB, setting the stage for over a century of vital work protecting nature, which continues today.

Happy Birthday, Emily — here's to your enduring impact!

Along the narrow carpet ride,
With primroses on either side,
Between their shadows and the sun,
The cows came slowly, one by one,
Breathing the early morning air
And leaving it still sweeter there.
