In Praise of Birds - making a postcard for World Book Night 2024
WBN is organised by Sarah Bodman and Linda Parr and for this years theme, In Praise of Birds, we’re invited to read a text or book about birds and to make a postcard in response.
Reading about the endangered status of curlews online, in books like Red Sixty Seven, and noticing how these days I only see curlews in ones and twos on my local Eastern UK shoreline I’ve begun to wonder if my memories of them in flocks are only my imagination . . .
If you’d like to find out more about this fabulous bird (and more) visit curlewaction.org
And check-out this beautiful performance
The Seven Whistlers. A video of the song 'The Seven Whistlers' by Sarah Deere-Jones, written to highlight the loss of Curlew and other birdsong.
