Event: Curlew Conversations: Grouse Moors

Join us to hear from two land managers about their experience of managed grouse moors and curlew populations.

Research shows that Curlew populations are declining because too few chicks survive to replace adult birds. While early grass cutting contributes to breeding failure, predation of eggs and chicks is the main limiting factor. The strongest breeding success is consistently found in areas with effective predator control, particularly on managed grouse moors.

In this follow-up to our Curlews and Grouse Moors webinar, we'll hear from land managers about their experience of curlew populations on the managed grouse moors that they are responsible for.

The presentations will be followed by a live Q&A with each speaker. Speaker details coming soon.

This free webinar is aimed at anyone with an interest in Curlews or conservation in general and will provide a clear, balanced overview of the challenges and practical solutions involved in Curlew conservation. We welcome students, naturalists, ornithologists, conservation professionals, ecologists, land managers, farmers and anyone else who is keen to understand the threats facing our Curlews.
