UNDER THREAT: The curlew
A LARGE-SCALE project is taking place to estimate the size of the dale’s curlew population to help the threatened species survive.
The breeding population of Eurasian curlew is declining across almost its entire range, with estimates suggesting a 20 to 30 per cent fall in the last 15 years. It has been identified as a “globally near threatened”.
The UK population represents about a quarter of the global breeding population but this is estimated to have halved in the past 25 years.
In partnership with the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, Raby Estates is carrying out a survey in the upper dale with the findings being used to continue and build on a North of England Uplands Curlew Recovery Project.
