'Everybody has a role to play in curlew conservation'

A conservation charity is hosting an event and unveiling a mural to raise awareness of an endangered bird.

Curlew Action is hosting a series of talks at Lansdown Hall in Stroud on Monday to inform people about conservation efforts for the Eurasian Curlew. The event also marks World Curlew Day, which began in 2017.

The population of curlews is rapidly declining according to the charity, with only two chicks successfully arriving in Gloucestershire last year.

Mary Colwell, director and founder of the charity, said: "It's so important that we bring endangered wildlife like curlews right into the middle of towns and cities so everybody can see them and begin to understand what's happening."
