Curlew Action
Ambassador
Some of my most memorable moments while out photographing birds have been watching and of course listening to curlews on the salt marshes, particularly at RSPB Pagham Harbour. It's just magical.
I am passionate about them, as is my son and we have now recorded two podcast episodes (No 2 and No 56) dedicated entirely to them. (You can listen to both episodes here or on any of the major platforms, like Spotify, Amazon or Apple.)
There is a fantastic organisation called Curlew Action whose sole mission is to bring widespread awareness of the plight of the curlew and to try and save this beautiful, iconic wading bird.
I am absolutely thrilled and honoured to be an ambassador for Curlew Action helping them in any way I can to protect this beautiful threatened bird.
I urge you to visit their site and read about how you can help them protect the curlew from the very real threat of extinction.
Or you can help by purchasing one of our curlew products in our shop and we will donate 50% of the profit from every sale to Curlew Action
I'm very fond of curlews
If we don't do something to help curlews now, they could be extinct in the UK within 15 years
We really can't let that happen
Why we should care?
Because it's not just about the curlew…
The curlew is an indicator species, which means that when things are bad for the curlew they are also bad for many other species.
Their decline is an early warning system of environmental and climatic changes that will also have a profound effect on the populations of other ground nesting birds and many other
associated species.
