Curlew Capers (and song)

The Curlew's song is one of the most beautiful sounds of the countryside. As well as the song, the Curlew's call and long curved bill tend to stick in the memory. This video shows Eurasian Curlews (numenius arquata) in Spring and early Summer in the heart of Britain.

You've taught me the meaning of 'curlew'...that I came across in a poem...Happy Holidays! from San Francisco...Cheers!

Out in Galway at the moment, was lucky enough to see a pair of Curlews fly off over a small bay trilling to each other. So graceful and beautiful.

I have always look forward to the cry of the Curlew when I visit a piece of ground just west of Pitlochry, Perthshire but have not heard them for three years. I ask walkers if they have heard them and none have been reported to me. Do hope they are thriving somewhere. Really glad but sad to listen to them here! Thank you for the recording.
