Image shows a Eurasian Curlew wading on the shoreline with a wave in the background. Words above the curlew say “Happy World Ocean Day, celebrating the lifeline of planet Earth”.

It’s #WorldOceanDay!

We all depend on the ocean, for air, food, climate, & connection.

And so do Curlews. In winter, they head to estuaries, saltmarshes & coastal mudflats, relying on these rich marine habitats to survive.

Protecting oceans = protecting Curlews. Let’s celebrate our blue planet.

Several reports of Wood Sandpiper, Spotted Redshank, Temminck's Stint etc.
Spring passage may not be as strong as autumn but the birds are smarter than these daft juvenile Curlew Sandpipers!

This @wildjustice.bsky.social petition on driven grouse shooting is 2nd most-signed petition in last hour.
