Curlew Action
Ambassador
Some of my most memorable moments while out photographing birds have been watching and of course listening to curlews on the salt marshes, particularly at RSPB Pagham Harbour. It's just magical.
I am passionate about them, as is my son and we did a podcast episode dedicated entirely to them. (You can listen to the episode here or on any of the major platforms, like Spotify, Amazon or Apple.)
Anyway, one of the lovely people at Curlew Action did take a listen and after some friendly conversation asked us both if we would be interested in being ambassadors for them. How could we possibly refuse such an honour.
What a great opportunity to help such a fantastic organisation save such an iconic bird.
I'm very fond of curlews
If we don't do something to help curlews now, they could be extinct in the UK within 15 years
We really can't let that happen
Why we should care?
Because it's not just about the curlew…
The curlew is an indicator species, which means that when things are bad for the curlew they are also bad for many other species.
Their decline is an early warning system of environmental and climatic changes that will also have a profound effect on the populations of other ground nesting birds and many other
associated species.
