    Today is National Curlew Day so let’s celebrate on Today is National Curlew Day so let’s celebrate one of the UK’s most distinctive and characterful birds!

With their long, curved bills and wonderfully atmospheric calls, the Eurasian curlew is a real highlight of wetlands and open landscapes.

If you’re near Rutland Water, you’ve got a great chance of experiencing them at their best during spring and autumn, when they pass through on migration. You’ll often spot them around the lagoons and grassy edges, feeding or resting. 

Listen out for their famous call, a wild and evocative sound that carries across the landscape.
