Much (more) ado about Curlews

About this episode

The episode discusses recent developments in curlew conservation and Steve's new curlew venture.

If you’ve been listening to the pod for a while, you’ll know we have a real soft spot for curlews. They were even the topic of our second ever episode back in September 2022! Since then, lots has happened in the world of curlews. There’s been some sad news about the slender-billed curlew, but also lots to celebrate, with some great conservation projects underway. And on The Birdy Bug Pod front, Steve has a very exciting curlew update of his own. So, grab a drink and join us as we explore the latest curlew developments and chat about Steve’s new curlew venture. Get in touch! Don't forget to follow The Birdy Bug Pod over on Instagram.
