Known for their long, down-curved bills, long legs and haunting ‘cur-lee’ call, we’re talking about Curlews as today is hashtag#WorldCurlewDay!
Unfortunately, due to a decline in the breeding population, Curlews are on the Red List on the UK Conservation Status Report, making them vulnerable, endangered waders in Britain. This is further exacerbated by drained and damaged peatlands, one of the main habitats in which Curlew breeding sites occur.
Focusing on peatland restoration will promote biodiversity and support the habitat that Curlew’s rely on from February to July. Planting Sphagnum stabilises peat surface and is a great way to produce the optimal environment for the development of native peatland communities.
