Curlew Moon
Book • 2018
Mary Colwell's 'Curlew Moon' grew out of her 500-mile walk to raise awareness for the declining curlew, collecting scientific, cultural, and personal perspectives along the way.
The book combines interviews with farmers, conservationists, poets and others to paint a comprehensive portrait of the curlew's place in the British landscape.
It mixes natural history with storytelling to explain the species' precipitous decline and to argue for urgent conservation action.
The narrative helped catalyse public engagement and initiatives such as Curlew Action and the Curlew Recovery Partnership.
Through evocative writing, the book seeks to rekindle cultural attachment to the curlew and support practical solutions for its survival.
