As a thank you to everyone who’s supported the release of Simmerdim this year, here’s a new film combining one of my curlewsounds recordings from Geltsdale, Cumbria, with RSPB curlew video footage from the same location by Nick Rodd! Full length: youtu.be/B9yx0_B1ghA

If you haven't heard "Simmerdim: curlewsounds" yet, we heartily recommend giving it a listen. And better yet, all proceeds go to curlew conservation (it would make a great Christmas present for the bird-lover in your life). Congratulations Merlyn Driver

Our curlews love squidgy wetlands and so here we are rewetting a bog and creating scrapes ready for when they return to breed in spring. #WorldWetlandsDay

This wonderful programme on the curlew’s place in Irish folklore was broadcast last night and uses music and soundscapes from Simmerdim curlewsounds as a backdrop. Thanks to @lennyantonelli 🙏 rte.ie/radio/lyricfm/…

The sound of curlews captures wildness, but in British and Irish folklore, it’s also long been seen as a bad omen. Check out the subtle but powerful way in which these two segments of award-winning TV use curlew sound to evoke wildness (and freedom), but also danger #curlews

Great to see the #Curlew representing the sound of nature. Last spring saw the launch of the curlewsounds album, starring the curlews at our project sites around the UK (along with songs by a range of musicians). Hard to believe it's almost a year ago! curlewsoundsproject.org

Happy #WorldCurlewDay to friends and colleagues who are care deeply about the survival of this bird. I don’t have snazzy pictures but I will go and bathe in their calls on a hill, on my own and drink in their awesomeness. Curlew Action Curlews in crisis curlewsounds Curlew Country

Today is #WorldCurlewDay, so I thought I’d rattle out a little rendition of ‘Simmerdim’, the song that sparked my curlew album project, which has raised more than £10K for curlew conservation since last year. Today’s the perfect day to buy a copy! curlewsounds.bandcamp.com/album/simmerdi…

I created curlewsounds because I wanted to contribute to wider efforts to stop the magical sound of the curlew from disappearing from the UK. I’m so pleased that one of the soundscapes has been nominated for the 2022 Sound of the Year Awards in the ‘Disappearing Sounds’ category.
