As with the note on the Snipe the Curlew can now be regularly seen sat on the stone walls and posts in the fields which gives them a good view of their offspring and any approaching danger.

Curlew and chick
Driving over the moor this morning I came across two Curlew swooping over the edge of the road. As I pulled over a tiny chick ran across in front of me, I waited a few minutes to check that there were no others following, the typical clutch is 4, then encouraged the one visible chick in to the undergrowth.
