It’s #WorldOceanDay!
We all depend on the ocean, for air, food, climate, & connection.
And so do Curlews. In winter, they head to estuaries, saltmarshes & coastal mudflats, relying on these rich marine habitats to survive.
Protecting oceans = protecting Curlews. Let’s celebrate our blue planet.

Several reports of Wood Sandpiper, Spotted Redshank, Temminck's Stint etc.
Spring passage may not be as strong as autumn but the birds are smarter than these daft juvenile Curlew Sandpipers!

Lest we forget 🪦🪦
On #WorldCurlewDay, let's remember the two extinct curlews - Eskimo Curlew and Slender-billed Curlew.
Learning lessons that will hopefully mean that the remaining species survive:

Good morning!
This @wildjustice.bsky.social petition on driven grouse shooting is 2nd most-signed petition in last hour.
We approach 6k signatures. I'd love to reach 10k before 3:30pm (ie first 24hrs). It'll be tough but let's send a strong message to Defra.
