Curlew Call

The distinctive warning call of the Curlew,our largest wading bird, resounds around the Northern Uplands of the uk in spring & early summer where they return each year to breed

Normally a very wary bird but when they have young chicks nearby they can be quite bold. This one approached just to within a few yards of me,obviously letting me know its young family was nearby.

Needless to say I heeded the warning and left it in peace.

Taken in the Peak District.
