It's World Curlew Day tomorrow, and here is a reminder about why we celebrate:
We’ve just been told about something special happening in the village of Wooldale, near Huddersfield and we had to share it.
Carole Grogan, a lover of Curlews, has transformed her village’s telephone box for World Curlew Day.
If you’re nearby, do pop in and show your support!
Thinking back to the wonderful European Fieldworkers Workshop in February.
Here is what Matt Trevelyan of Cathy the Curlew fame thought of it:
Please write to your MP and encourage them to join a drop-in session to mark World Curlew Day on 21st April, 3–4pm in Room O, Portcullis House.
The event will be supported by Curlew Action as we build support for the UK Curlew Action Plan.
