The Eurasian curlew is Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List with a decreasing population trend. Causes of its decline include factors such as moorland and marsh loss, high predation rates on chicks and eggs, climate change and more. It is the largest wading bird in Europe. It is native to large ranges of Europe, Asia, and Africa. They are migratory and are found on wetlands and estuaries in the winter and moorland in the summer. The species consumes small invertebrates. The Northern lapwing (also known as the 'peewit') is classed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List with a decreasing population trend. It is on the UK Red List. This species has a large range encompassing Europe, parts of Asia and Northern Africa. The majority of the global population are migratory but some are sedentary. Its habitat includes wet meadows and grasslands, moorland and swamps at low altitude (<1000m). It can also be terrestrial as well as using freshwater and saltwater. They breed between March and June on arable grassland and has declined in the UK by 55% due to reduction in this type of habitat. They feed on invertebrates.
