Curlew 2020 - The Final 24 Hours

A lot happens on a Curlew nest in 24 hours. From the first pip of an egg to fledging. It all happens in just one day. Like all birds that nest on the ground, they have to grow up mighty fast! This is the final, nail biting 24 hours on the featured nest for 2020.

Amazing. Thank you CaryxWild for the live cam and editing. I missed the hatching day and didn't know they leave the nest so quick.

Thank you very much for providing this edit. I feel so privileged to have seen them hatching on the live feed.. I didn't realize they would be fledged in a day, or I might have checked the feed again, sooner!

Amazing. Thank you.

Any updates on the fledgelings

We believe all four chicks were eventually predated. Which shows their vulnerability and further underlines the importance of projects such as this.

Can one one please help me! I’m England Peak District area around Macclesfield. My dad found a curlew chick on the road at night on its own just now! What should I do help it by keeping it on its own or putting it with the chickens we have that have just had chicks of it’s own? Or go back up the road to the spot where it was found a let it go to try and call out to its mum and dad??? From pics I’ve seen it looks very young it’s about 5cm body size 7-15cm with legs fully extended, with specials all over. Can anyone help me to figure out what to do with it???

[@CarnyxWild]

If you still have the chick, take it to a vet to assess it's age. If it is over 30 days old, it is likely to have fledged so could then probably be taken back somewhere safe. It is all guesswork unfortunately. Good luck.

@@CarnyxWild im very upset to say that it passed away in the night. I don’t know why, too cold, no food. It’s such a shame because it was so beautiful and I didn’t realise that the curlew call is something that I used to hear all the time as a child at my grannies farm
