Mucking about in mud at Middlehaven - curlews and redshanks feeding whilst herring gulls take a break from mussel hunting - quick lunch-hour sketch with colour added later

Breton fisherfolk believed when someone died at sea, gulls and curlews would beat their wings against the dead one's windows...

birbos
red is definitely a red cardinal attempt
the wall eyed one is meant to be an owl but looks like a hawk
fat blue one (ironically the fastest) is probably a dove? though I was looking at kookaburra pics.
yellow is my own invention but I was looking at australian curlews.

Really glad to hear that, dear Vera! And I do love curlews!

The wind is hard from the west,
a skein of voices in it, thin but clear
as curlews’. Their songs’ rising
crests the brown moor and flies.

21 April is "...a day to champion the awesomeness of curlews & draw attention to the threats which face them." Having just released a kids' book about curlews, I'm holding a giveaway (announced yesterday). The winner is...

It was Wader Conservation World Watch event this past weekend. November is not the best period shorebird-wise in Hungary, so it was pleasing to find good numbers of Lapwings and Curlews in my favourite area in Kiskunság National Park. Here are a few sketches I made.

Sketchbook curlews, playing with simple tools-pencil and wash. No doubt Twitter will crop weirdly so please click to see them!

Curlews preening amongst samphire - forgive this series of field sketches being a bit similar but I'm enjoying trying to suss out all the different postitions that the preening birds get themselves into

5 August was a bogey date for the English in the Curlews. 1603 Lord Dunkellin took a hammering 'the vanguard whereof...showed their backs [turned & ran] the example whereof stroke such a terror in the rest as by all the force we could use we cold not hold our forces from running'

I did a quick draw of one of my player's pets. I call these Opal Curlews (they're really similar to the Pearl Curlews found one Faerûn)

Happy National Curlew Day. Here are four of the five curlews we have in Ragleth Gallery ; sadly about the same number as are in the hills around Church Stretton.

Yep, Tundra plovers in temperate landscapes. Curlews are legitimate lowland meadow species, I worry about them and Snipe more than I do Golden Plovers. Better to create patches of high quality habitat for hill waders than create huge expanses of poor quality habitat for them.
