Description
Curlew Moon by Mary Colwell is a poignant exploration of Britain's largest wading bird, the curlew. With its distinctive calls and evocative silhouette, this iconic species has captivated artists, poets, and musicians for centuries.
The Eurasian Curlew is one of the UK's most endangered birds, with numbers halving over the last 20 years. Mary Colwell embarks on a 500-mile journey from Ireland to England to discover what's happening to this beautiful bird, from its arrival on breeding grounds in early spring to its departure for wintering grounds.
This beautifully illustrated book chronicles Colwell's journey, weaving together her observations of the curlew's natural history with a gentle tale of discovery. With stunning images by Jessica Holm, Curlew Moon is a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking exploration of our relationship with nature.
