Not only is it NYE, but it is our fifth birthday today!

We officially ‘hatched’ on 31 Dec 19, which now feels like a long time ago!

If you’d like to wish us a happy birthday, we would be so grateful if you’d consider donating to our fundraiser here: https://t.co/idCoWPSfE8

Our penultimate #CurlewAdvent for 2024 is a gut-wrenching one: the Slender-billed Curlew. This photograph was taken in Yemen taken in 1984 by RF Porter, with the species likely going extinct around 1995.
