"What things for dream there are when spectre-like,
Moving among tall haycocks lightly piled,
I enter alone upon the stubble field,
From which the laborers’ voices late have died"
Robert Frost (1915)

Upper Teesdale #Curlew - high density but also high breeding productivity thanks to landscape wide predator control. Population self-sustaining unlike most of UK. Main nest predators Badger & Stoat. www.gwct.org.uk/wildlife/res...

🎂 This ten-year old blog about breeding #Whimbrel may be of interest to researchers and volunteers involved in #Curlew conservation.

LPO is calling for permanent shooting ban for #Curlew and Black-tailed Godwit.
This would provide protection for thousands of both species that winter in and migrate through France.

Two waders that had caught their worms 🪱 this evening - Eurasian #curlew & #oystercatcher at Belhaven Bay. They’ll forage on shellfish, insects and worms; although worms tend to be more typical prey of oystercatchers when inland.

The early Curlew catches the grub.
The very long beak indicates a female and the soil on it shows how far down it was feeding.
The other image shows another bird with all of its beak in the ground!
At Pett Level, this morning.

Stringed Figure (Curlew) (Version I), created in 1956 by the renowned British sculptor Dame Barbara Hepworth. Crafted from brass and tensioned string mounted on an original wooden base.
Barbara Hepworth created Stringed Figure (Curlew) (Version I), the larger precursor to Stringed Figure (Curlew) (Marquette), in her studio in St. Ives in 1956. This magnificent sculpture marks a short but meaningful period in the artist’s oeuvre. In the 1950s, Hepworth began to explore the sculptural medium of sheet metal. This medium brought greater freedom than bronze or wood; it allowed for more exaggerated and parabolic curves to be created with ease. The use of new materials is partly explained due to the demand for her work. Working in a more malleable and new material not only allowed the artist to create the work in time to meet the demand but also allowed her to expand her expertise in a new direction. Moreover, there are three works in total that have this same title, as well as this same technique which was used to develop other commissions such as the Orpheus (Maquette 2) (Version II) , further demonstrating not only her continuous artistic evolution but also her commercial success. Aside from the brass, Hepworth also used cotton fisherman’s string, which she acquired locally. Hepworth always had a deep appreciation for St. Ives and it seems natural that the love she felt for the town was extended into her artworks.
Parallels can be drawn with the work of other artists from the time such as Lynn Chadwick’s Stabile with Mobile Element 1951). At the time Chadwick was also exploring the varying possibilities of balance, contour, and form that could be developed using sheet metal. Stringed Figure (Curlew) (Version I) conveys a rhythmic quality of movement - similar to that of a bird mid-flight - and explores shape and space in a formal yet innovative way.

I saw and photographed a #ringed #curlew on 15.09.2026 at Seaton Wetlands. Am I correct in reporting that it says 0L? This is a cropped image just of the left leg. hscurlew.shinyapps.io/sightings/

@atlanticbirding.bsky.social set today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as #Mouthful; any bird with anything in its beak.
Here’s a #curlew having breakfast from Wednesday morning in Norfolk…

Bush Stone-curlews nesting during rain and heat in Kingscliff. The clutch size is 1 to 3 eggs laid in a shallow scrape in the ground. Both adults are sharing the incubation and future care of the young.

Beautiful video with our own committee member, Owen Murphy, who eloquently explains the plight of our midland bogs and their waders, particularly #Curlew, and the fantastic work of the @breedingwaderseip.bsky.social. Maith thú! @ramsar.org @birdwatchireland.bsky.social @wwtworldwide.bsky.social
