RSPB Leighton Moss Natural Legacy Discovery Project

The videos in this channel are deliberately short as they are intended for use on a brilliant Interactive Digital Map. To see the map click goo.gl/maps/PkCpg Some Icons carry audio (eg bird-song) with a few images, others are slide-shows, and videos as appropriate. Used in conjunction with the map, they work as Interpretive Links to help understand the Heritage and Natural History of the Arnside and Silverdale area of the Southern Lake District. The Natural Legacy Discovery Project marks 50 years of the RSPB at Leighton Moss. The project is also supported by the Arnside & Silverdale AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

Beautiful sound ❤ from what the news says now extinct :(
Now thought extinct so sad 😢
I saw one today calling as she flew 😭quite a common sight where I am on the salt marshes They are so beautiful, I hope their population increases a bit soon!
Am reading _'The Way of Wyrd'_ and a curlew call is mentioned. Well, I just had to know, didn't I?
My dad saved a family’s lives in front of a crowd back in the 70’s. At Arnside , they didn’t respond to the siren so he made a run for it, grabbed the children and ran like the wind, men had made a chain to get then back across the water…… I remember my mother screaming
Just finished reading "The Call Of The Curlew" a novel by Taha Hussein. Very touching, such an emotional read
Anybody here playing this at a game of the One Ring RPG?
Trasna island, Lower Lough Erne, County Fermanagh. Has now got breeding Curlews for the first time in living memory.❤
Nearly every night i hear this guy screaming in the night. Acording to my Grandma theres a nest near my homes shore so i guess thats where it lives. Ive seen 3 of em stuck in my fishnet once. All 3 lived and went free. Never left a fishing net on the ground again after that.
If that siren goes..then get out run for cover...
The cry of the curlew
About ten years ago, i looked out of my front window and saw one of these hiding in my garden. I had never seen or even heard of them, but through the years i often wondered what it was until today. I saw one on a UA-cam video about endangered Canadian animals. It said none had been seen in 55 years, but i am here to tell you i saw one. I researched for a long time trying to identify it and today i finally know what it was. So i live in Virginia! I know what i saw and it was a Curlew. I know it was. I hope they are still around. It was very shy and tried to hide in my garden. It must have been lost, but it was definitely a Curlew. So at least i know they were still around ten years ago.
My favorite animal
I nearly got caught out in morcambe bay. You dont see the gullies till its to late and the quick sand!!. It took me 40 minutes to get back to dry solid ground. Terrifying!. When your out there, there is no sound and even if you shouted it would be dampened by the bay. Ive seen the sea come in once with waves as high as ten foot traveling as fast as a car with the wind behined it. The sound is a massive Rush of sound. You have to respect the sea especially in morcambe bay.
The siren sounds like an angry cat, low and growling in it's stomach, getting ready to pounce and fight. Here Kitty, meeeooooowwww.

Nice
The history of this region is amazing, as is the scenery.
Heard lots of these yesterday walking in the Pennines. Thought it was a Curlew but came here to double check :-)
One cry of this creature and I'm transported to Emily Bronte's melancholy moors and the bleak beauty of Wuthering Heights.
This is the sounds we hear all summer where I live. They nest just behind our house so they can be super loud at night
I know they are supposed to be extinct... But it would be awesome to he sitting on a porch in the am watching the sun come up and seeing an Eskimo Curlew land in the yard and see it for a few moments before it flew away and moved on.
Sounds exactly like Grangemouth's MICC sirens! Hörmann ECNs
20 knots speed pretty dicey, though, if something were to go wrong -debri in water knocking u over or whatever... has anyone been attacked by a shark by the incoming??!
Heard that today
Wow
SO do they ring this twice every day, or just now and then when the tide is real high for some reason?
Twice a day I live here and it's always a nice sound to hear.
My wife also, is a giant bore
So you hear the siren but don't know if it's the first or second warning.
It's quite obvious if you see a large wave it's the second siren. I live here so i might be biased but it's easy to tell.
super scary how fast it comes in... and there are quicksands?! not a place i would want to venture
I surfed on the bore a couple of days ago actually on my paddle board. Great fun if you know what you're doing.
Good video. Thanks.
Unfortunately this vid doesn't show how much higher the warned of tide is, or what the ensuing damage or loss of life might be. It's all guesswork.
Visitors and tourist won’t know what the siren means. A voice announcement would be more effective i think.
And for foreigners? I would hope that there are notices too.
@@shinrapresident7010 I would think that horn should be enough to tell people to get out, it even sounds scary!
Probably carries further than a voice announcement. Up to visitors to find out local conditions for their own safety
that sounds like my cat telling me about how we are NOT actually going to the vet. But then we go to vet anyhow despite the siren.
We have Manukau Harbour here in Auckland, just as treacherous. My children and us drive to the other calm side of Auckland with safer beaches! My husband never launches his boat there either, he says it's treacherous
There's a map of the North Island of NZ at 2.17. Te Ika A Maui
The tide doesn’t come in THAT quick.
Agreed. I suspect he was exaggerating, but he was making the point that it travels faster at the sides and cuts you off, plus he mentioned that the effects of wind can speed it up. I believe the Arnside Bore more typically travels at around ten mph.

That’s horrifying.

I can take you to the churchyard?
1:28 the closed caption says "ken's buying condom." I rather doubt that was said.
My father and I visited his cousins in England several years ago. They took us on a short trip to Arnside and explained the sirens as well as the awful tragedy of the people who drowned some time before that. Now I live on the Bay of Fundy which has great tide levels, but not the other dangers of the sea bed.
Hey! I was fortunate to see the Bay of Fundy tide coming in, beautiful Canada!
Do they have sirens at Fundy to warn everyone about the tides? Can you be drowned fast by incoming tides at Fundy, and other places near there with real high tides, do all those places have these sirens?
how many idiots died before they had to add a siren?
I'm not sure, but there was the very sad case of the cockle pickers wasn't there, somewhere around Morecambe Bay.
That may be an English accent, but it's not the Englush language!!
No its Lancashire/Cumbria dialect!
Have the same problem with idiots around the North West Norfolk coast. They ignore all the warnings because it won't happen to them, so the Hunstanton RNLI Hovercraft gets a lot of use each summer.
Ah yes, morons who cannot design a better warning system calling EVERYONE idiot. It must be nice having a government job.
I love this. Thank you Neil Oliver for counting to ten like this in your June 23 2022 love letter to the British Isles
