5/5 #BOUsci24 #SESH1 This project would not have been possible without the support from many partner organisations, funders and volunteers. Thank you to each and every one of them!

4/5 #BOUsci24 #SESH1 With a long lived species like Curlew, it takes time to see results. But with over 690 Curlew released since 2017, we are delighted that the first birds have now attempted to breed, and so we hope that “step 2” might yet be accomplished! If you see one of our birds, please tell us: curlewrecoveryproject.co.uk/report-a-sight…

1/5 #BOUsci24 #SESH1 Our very own @modelbirder is talking about Curlew headstarting at #BOUsci24 this morning - an ambitious conservation partnership project yielding promising results. She is presenting on behalf of a group of researchers. #BTOScience

Headstarted curlew Astra (9L) has now returned to the wash after her brief trip to the River Humber. Impressively she has returned to the same area she favoured before she flew to France in 2022! curlewrecoveryproject.co.uk/9l-2/ @_BTO #conservation #curlew

Have you seen this bird? Curlews that were headstarted in 2021, 2022 and 2023 might be returning to Norfolk and surrounds to breed! 😃Please report any Curlews you see with yellow leg flags 👉 curlewrecoveryproject.co.uk/report-a-sight… #Ornithology #BTOScience #Tracking #ConservationScience #Curlew 📷© Rob Robinson / BTO
