From the unmistakable, haunting call of the curlew to the growing gaps where birdsong used to be, we explore the story behind one of the UK’s most threatened species, and why World Curlew Day matters now more than ever. Along the way, we’ll be exploring how art, music and storytelling can help us reconnect with the natural world - and maybe even change the way we care for it. Sean will be joined by artist and big-time birder, Jim Moir, ornithologist Dr Mya-Rose Craig, singer David Gray, actor Samuel West, founder of World Curlew Day, Mary Colwell and the writer Robert Macfarlane. Produced by Hana Walker-Brown. Executive Producer is Jane Gerber. This is a Get Birding Production.
