Privileged to have worked on such a special species this year!

An incredible moment releasing our headstarted curlews onto Dartmoor and monitoring their progress 🪶

[Tan Grigg @GriggTan]

We’ve started to release this years cohort of Curlew onto Dartmoor, please can you keep a look out for them and report any sightings to [email protected] 😊@WWTconservation @KaneBrides @JordanPargeter @Dan_Gornall

Even more beautiful in the hand! ✋🏼

As you can see, the July weather in Dartmoor doesn’t disappoint ☁️

[Kane Brides @KaneBrides]

Straight from Ireland to Dartmoor to continue working on #Curlew. Nice to see this year's healthy batch of head starts looking so well 💫

@cateden91 @KaneBrides @Dan_Gornall @andy_scott95 Our band is called “Radiotag” 😎

[Jordan Pargeter @JordanPargeter]

A few days spent with the SAV team tracking their radio-tagged chicks in preparation for post-release monitoring of our Headstarted curlew.

Thanks to @KaneBrides, @Dan_Gornall & @andy_scott95 for showing me the ropes!

[WWT Conservation @WWTconservation]

Have you seen or heard a curlew on Dartmoor National Park?

The Dartmoor Curlew Project is helping to monitor the last remaining curlew population on Dartmoor and would like to know if you have seen any.

If you have, please get in touch at ‘[email protected]’.

Thank you

Happy #WorldCurlewDay from us! 🥚🪶

[Kane Brides @KaneBrides]

On #WorldCurlewDay, a shout out to my Curlew fieldwork team @Dan_Gornall leading up #SAVCurlews with @andy_scott95 & @JordanPargeter on Dartmoor! It can often be a tough/depressing job, but they're collecting crucial evidence to help this species 💫

Watch!

A northern harrier catches up to a short-eared owl, makes it drop the small rodent (vole) it was carrying, and catches the falling prey before it hits the ground.

Lucky enough to end a busy weekend at @WWTSlimbridge. A successful @WorcMalvRSPB Christmas social too!

[Jordan Pargeter @JordanPargeter]

@ScottoftheMarsh All the best with the new role bud!

[Olivia Ragone @OliviaRagone]

A successful night on the wildlife camera after a sighting of a female & two pups the day before 🦦📸

[Sand Martin Wall @SandMartinWall]

It's amazing how Sand Martin have the ability to catch insects in the pouring rain.

[Kane Brides @KaneBrides]

We are nearing the end of #SAVCurlews 2023! It's been a great season for collecting data with 27 nesting attempts followed. However, productivity remains very low. Thanks to all who have assisted our work this year & especially the farmers who we work with. More work to be done!

[Daniel Gornall @Dan_Gornall]

Last few weeks have been spent monitoring, ringing & radio tracking broods of Curlew. Finally had our first of the year fledge today #SAVCurlews

[Jordan Pargeter @JordanPargeter]

@ScottoftheMarsh @BBCSpringwatch @Buzz_dont_tweet I came across the exact same at one of our curlew sites 🐛

[Jordan Pargeter @JordanPargeter]

Bank holiday spent bat surveying with plenty of ringing, including my first experience of ringing pulli.

All ringed under license.
