I can't remember ever hearing them but I heard about them a lot when I was young. Now fota wildlife park have been going out into the wild to collect the eggs and now they have 31 birds but they still have more eggs to hatch and that's brilliant news.
Let’s hope that providing the habitat along with predator control helps this iconic species. We must learn lessons from our managed grouse moors that have the highest populations of successful breeding Eurasian Curlew.
This video made my day way better, thanks a lot! This kind of projects we need more in all over the world. The populations of curlews have declined in whole Europe as so many populations of other wader species. Waders are difficult group to study because they usually live in difficult habitats and their plumage makes them so inconspicuous. That's the reason why we don't have a lot of knowledge about many waders and we don't know how to help them. We should act right now! Otherwise in 2050 (or something like that) we are watching the last individuals of many european waders. At that point we can't do anything anymore, just sit on our couches and looking how almost all of european waders are dying out. What we need? We need more research, more refurbishment and maintaining of good environments, we need hunting of invasive species but also hunting of foxes etc. We need projects that helps species to success and we need volunteers. But how can we do that? We need support and funding to carry out everything, simply we need money. So, the key is to get government and the people to understand that biodiversity is vital for all of us.
Can one one please help me! I’m England Peak District area around Macclesfield. My dad found a curlew chick on the road at night on its own just now! What should I do help it by keeping it on its own or putting it with the chickens we have that have just had chicks of it’s own? Or go back up the road to the spot where it was found a let it go to try and call out to its mum and dad??? From pics I’ve seen it looks very young it’s about 5cm body size 7-15cm with legs fully extended, with specials all over. Can anyone help me to figure out what to do with it???
Love these birds and I'm so privileged that I see them on a daily basis in the summer months as I live on the west pennine moors
Gorgeous curlews. Please save them.
That was a brilliant video. Many thanks for posting. The curlew is a magnificent bird and we must protect them.
Great video and project. Thank you for all you are doing

I also remember hearing about the corncrake when I was young coming from a farming background.
What a wonderful project and beautifully documented in this film.
Magnificent work by everyone involved, and a great little film too.
Wonderful.
This is an excellent project and a fantastic work of all the good people who are involved in it!
Thank you so much.

Fantastic footage
Can the nesting sights be moved to keep the eggs and the parents safe.

I know this is a late comment.. But if you ever find one again take it to a local wildlife rescue.
@@ツPeter thank you. It must of been too young it didn’t survive the night sadly.
