What a great choice for this edition, Charlie. Thank you!
I have a special fondness for curlews as they were the soundtrack to our move to The Ribble Valley. I had never consciously heard or seen them before. I somehow managed to find out what they were by typing in goodness knows what to Google. It's so sad how much their numbers have depleted. It makes me feel so fortunate that I can often hear and see them from our garden. I won't ever take this for granted.
How wonderful they are so close to you. Every year one or two turn up on my patch, a couple of miles away from home. Only ever a single bird, with a correspondingly lonesome cry...

Gosh. We are luckier than we even realised. We love you, curlews!
