Hi Elaine, thanks for your comments. Jennifer Lynch, the County Louth Ranger, surveyed Ardee Bog in June and found 7 key sites where 3 pairs of Curlew feed and nest. Sites 2 & 5 are most vulnerable if this road project proceeds.

Not sure where the week has gone, but anyway here's a workout of a Stone Curlew going from squinty baleful to bug-eyed.

Beach Stone-curlews are such charismatic birds, they'll often sidle up to take a closer look at you and then walk off indifferently!

...especially in the core upland areas which currently represent its strongholds. Curlew is already red-listed in the UK and globally classified as ‘near-threatened’ and the decline may turn out to be even worse if habitat loss is not addressed" Breeding Bird Survey 2019

It's Natural Historian George Balam in his 1912 book the Birds of Northumberland captured the beauty of "A moor without a curlew is like a night without the moon, and he who has not eye for the one and an ear for the other is a mere body without a soul"

Sheep blarting hopefully for cake after the neighbour on his rounds through the fields.

Sparrows bickering over space in the roof of the barn,

A curlews bubbling call.

Yeah, it’s the soundwave of the birdsong. (I also do Braille in my work.... )
and yes, those curlew are a commission...
I also draw birds...
Bird obsessed (and obsessed too! Quietly in the background for a year and a half, since before the cranberry bog of 2017)
