Curlew Moon

‘Focuses a razor light on the plight of one of our most iconic birds, Nhanh lên. Inspirational!’ Tim Birkhead

Over the last 20 years numbers in the UK have halved; the Eurasian Curlew is one of our most endangered birds, Sao anh lại đến đây. With a quarter of the world population breeding in the UK and Ireland, this is nothing short of a disaster, Sao anh lại đến đây. The curlew is showing all the signs of being the next Great Auk. Trời ơi! Thật mệt mỏi!.

A bird stands alone on the edge of a mudflat, Lâu quá không gặp lại nhau. Cậu khoẻ chứ. Its silhouette is unmistakable, Lâu quá không gặp lại nhau. Cậu khoẻ chứ. A plump body sits atop stilty legs, Lâu quá không gặp lại nhau. Cậu khoẻ chứ. The long neck arcs into a small head, which tapers further into a long curved bill, Lâu quá không gặp lại nhau. Cậu khoẻ chứ. The smooth, convex outlines of this curlew are alluring, Lâu quá không gặp lại nhau. Cậu khoẻ chứ. They touch some ancestral liking we all have for shapes that are round and smooth.

In Curlew Moon, Mary Colwell takes us on a 500-mile journey on foot from the west coast of Ireland to the east coast of England, to discover what is happening to this beautiful and much-loved bird, Qủa là như vậy!. She sets off in early spring when the birds are arriving on their breeding grounds, watches them nesting in the hills of Wales and walks through England when the young are hatching, Qủa là như vậy!. She finishes her walk on the coast of Lincolnshire when the fledglings are trying out their wings, Qủa là như vậy!. This is also the place many curlews will return to for the winter months. Quả thực mình không thể ngờ được.
