The cry of the Curlew
Blows the wind to-day, and the sun and the rain are flying,
Blows the wind on the moors to-day and now,
Where about the graves of the martyrs the whaups are crying,
My heart remembers how!
—Robert Louis Stevenson, “To S. R. Crockett (In Reply to a Dedication)”

You see that I will have to rise
And turn round and get back where
My running age will slow for a moment
To let me on. It is a colder
Stretch of water than I remember.
The curlew’s cry travelling still
Kills me fairly…
—WS Graham, “Loch Thom”

RJStone Curlew in the headlights - check out those giant eyes! 👀 caught this fella by surprise on our way home the other night, first sighting we had in our area ever! I whipped out my phone and took a couple of shots - not the greatest quality, but I’m chuffed that I managed to get a pic 🤠

Jonny ClarkOne of the nice things about #VictoriaPark is that the #curlews are relatively tolerant of humans and you can get quite close.

"The warbling call of the #curlew has returned to #TrasnaIsland in Lower #LoughErne. Conservationists are celebrating the first successful breeding #birds on the island in living memory... they worked to restore habitat to support the return of vulnerable species including the curlew, along with the #lapwing, #snipe and #redshank."
