The Curlew has become a rare sight in Ireland. Birdwatch Ireland calls for our help. They believe only a few hundred pairs are left in the country. It was my first time to see them. I was fortunate to have a few of them visiting for a little week. This one bathing just outside my window an early morning.
At night I heard their haunting cry. Definitely memorable.
They’ve left now, hopefully they’ve found a safe place for spring.

Yes. Lovely to see. The last time I saw one was over thirty years ago. A number were fishing (I presume) an old moat around the house. Unfortunately, one of the cats caught and killed one. So sad. Never saw them again…

Thirty years ago, it seems we’ve been incredibly lucky to see one in our lifetime! It is sad.
Those cats, I love them. Entirely. But their killing/play nature is brutal. I have one but I don’t think she got any of the curlews, fortunately. Think she would have brought it in as a price if it was so…

Thank you for your comment. I didn’t know what kind bird it was and how rare it is, until someone told me about it. I consider myself extremely blessed to have seen them in my lifetime.
