Curlew Monitoring
19th March – 31st July 2025
We’re looking for volunteers who would like to help us monitor the beautiful curlew. It is thought that numbers are declining at a rate of around 6% per year which means they could potentially become extinct by 2030.
It is important that curlew are identified and where possible, provide protection during the breeding season and identify whether they have been successful in raising their young.
