VIDEO: The Last Curlew

The curlew with its distinctive haunting call, is now one of our most rapidly declining breeding bird species in the UK. Watch our short video which explains what we're doing to help:

There are beautiful Curlews on the Welsh Marches but they are rarely seen as breeding rates are so low. It would be better to see the birds protected and greater in numbers. As your film indicated
