Save our curlewsWe need more helpers, so anyone who can recognise Curlew and Lapwing should get involved, please
About the campaign
The campaign is supporting and encouraging all of the Community Wildlife Groups (except Kemp Valley, which has no breeding Curlews) across Shropshire to monitor Curlews.
The groups continued with their surveys in 2025. Clee Hill and Abdon extended their areas, to close the gap between them and monitor known additional Curlew territories.
The Curlew distribution map from the County Bird Atlas 2008-13, overlain with the Community Wildlife Group areas, can be found here.
For more information about the “Save our Curlews” campaign, please visit the SOS website.
