Amazing, insightful, depressing. PLEASE, give-a-little people. JD. NZ

Beautiful birds and their call is the sound of summer. Thank you for sharing this video. I've not heard a curlew call in years and I so miss them 🙏🏻💖

The sad demise of the British isles and its incredible wild life. Read “Kenzie the wild goose man” for a look into history

Wonderful video ❤

Yes, you are a part of it and it is a part of you. Well done.

The curlews evocarive call..yes a voicing of the place..and memories ..of Dales and Pennine walks estuaries and wind All conservation is hard work and fighting and hope and is always worthy. Simon Artley.Manchester

Still clinging on in the Uplands of mid-Wales. So lovely to hear them up there in late spring/summer each year. Don't know how long we'll be able to continue to do this.

Thats a worthwhile endeavour

Good work, the Glens in Angus near me still having breeding birds and the coast seems to have quite good numbers, but I will keep an eye on them more this summer.

You need to control badgers as they are having a massive impact on ground nesting birds.we.ve lost them on our upland farm where once 3 pairs could be found nesting on 1000 acres.theyve gone along with our hedgehog population since the badger moved in to a few places.

You lost me at “climate change”.

I’m a wildlife artist and film maker and love Curlews, They are under a lot of pressure unfortunately, I was brought up on a farm with several breeding pairs In our area on steep dale sides where farming hasn’t changed in decades But one big change is the amount of Buzzards and Kites which catch there young I have filmed Curlews at the nest but also Kites and Buzzards and they bring in a lot of young birds

I think it’s a shame the fox appears and it’s mentioned eaten or destroyed foxes and and curlews and other Predators like in nature have been hand in hand for thousands of years it’s simple extensive farming that’s the Problem.

Incredible david, thank you!

My favourites. I love that David loves them too 🤍

♥

Love this, so complements David's music

I was a neighbour of yours in Soke Newington i knew you were a kind and thoughtful person so I am thrilled at what you were doing for this Beautiful Bird and I will donate also I have shared this video on X and Facebook, thank you once again it's so nice to see you, let us all hope 2025 is a better year for the Curlew.

Thank you for your caring and compassion for these lovely fellow creatures. One of my most previous memories is when we camped on the edge of an estuary in Scotland, and hearing the curlew call very early in the morning, and at the end of a day when the sun was going down. Such experiences stay with one forever.

This is one of my top charities. Each spring we welcome Curlews back to our tiny dale in Yorkshire. The first Curlew call is a red letter day for me and my husband. We make a note of it every year. And their last call of the summer is a grey letter day. They mark our seasons like a clock. Thank you David for raising awareness and funds for this iconic creature. We need more people like you!

I love all birds😍 and i loved this short film with lovely music about these birds i didnt even know were called curlew 🤗🤩😍Thank you, David! 👍👏👏👏👏

I see and hear them on the dee estuary...amazing sight and sounds

❤❤❤❤❤

Get the habitat right with sympathetic farming & then just as importantly heavy predator control on foxes,crows & stoats

Very simple.Sympathetic farming operations & thorough predator control.Foxes,Badgers,hedgehogs,stoats,crows & the Curlew will be common.

I really found this very inspiring speakers being a big fan of our Curlew ! thank you

Here in North Cumbria we have found 4 nests and 4 chicks have hatched this week. So some positivity

Thanks for sharing this. Very informative, I'm in my first year of curlew spotting. I have a nest on the stubble field behind my house

Really pleased to have found this - very informative and helpful. Guernsey has a small overwintering population of Curlew.

Plenty of commonsense comment especially from Ian Newton. Tree planting near me in Sutherland has had a detrimental effect on breeding Greenshanks. These areas are also fenced to stop grazing this drastically degrades the habitat and fosters predators. The local shepherd legally deployed two Larsen traps and caught 44 crows in three Spring months. Not one pair of locally breeding Greenshanks lost eggs to crows.

Really great account of head-starting Spoonbill Sandpipers. Good effort as long as their breeding, feeding and migration staging habitat is preserved. Same goes for all wader species.

I saw the animated movie on the ABC Afterschool Special in 1972. Never knew it was a book until I found one at a thrift store. Loved the sad story.

Curlews make my heart sing. Beautiful birds and I'm so lucky to live on the west pennine moors in Lancashire where I see them on a daily basis next to my house between March to the end of June.❤

The song is beautiful. I want to find it but I can't 😢

I am Fred Bodsworth's oldest Granddaughter and just came across this video today. My Grandfather was a big part of my life and I loved him very much. I am so glad my kids had the opportunity to know and love their Papa Fred. He was fascinating, intelligent, gentle, and humorous. I could tell you so many fun stories. We took many camping trips with him and my Grandmother Margaret and the rest of the family growing up and I remember those days of my childhood so fondly. He would have been very interested by the present political and post-Pandemic landscape which brings me to my favorite book of his "The Atonement of Ashley Morden" and the theme of super bugs. Just some thoughts... Miss you Gramps. Please feel free to reach out.

What's the song at the beginning? Even Shazam couldn't find it.

In the lowland river valleys, the sad fact is that ground nesting waders such as curlew and lapwing have trouble finding nesting spots that won't be disturbed by early spring agricultural operations, such as harvesting of grass for silage and ploughing in very early spring.

One of the most beautiful sights and sounds of the British countryside. I saw a flock of nearly 40 curlew over a lake near Ripon, North Yorkshire the other day. At one point, they flew towards me in unison over the lake. An awesome sight.

Beautiful footage!

We had many of this bird in the fields when we started doing hay in 2000.... now, they look like gone in our fields in eastern Ontario....

Dae yous ever see these 🦄, Jeffer Dupaldson is looking fur thum

Why were the older people not involved in the debate, what a waste of a debate.

There are too many false story telling already in schools, many parents have taken their children away from the schools teaching false stories about wildlife and nature.

How do we deal with Mary Colwell a collaborator with the BBC who have passed on propaganda as facts, I find it incredible that she has asked for a GCSE in Natural History, will it be reality or fiction.

How do we set out a curriculum as there are years of propaganda to be extracted from the reality, the propaganda that has been passed from Professors to students for years. The disney years have ruined our Natural History not helped by organisations such as Wild Justice and all those involved in that, the RSPB who have failed our wildlife and our habitat who's reports have been incorporated into our books of learning. this will need to be removed before any learning begins.

Amazing.....the birds happines at the winter...

What are you doing to stop habitat destruction by the RSPB who are planting trees on prime uplands for curlew and many other waders and ground nesting birds that will be displaced from these prime areas.
