If you’re out and about, please bear these in mind 🐶

We thought it might be useful to show this image for all the dog walkers out there. This is a nest of a curlew. Maybe this is not the smartest place to nest but let’s face it the term bird brain might have relevance. The curlew is a precarious bird of high conservation concern. A vulnerable ground nester and prone to disturbance especially during incubation (around 30 days). Then when the chicks hatch they cannot fly until they’re five weeks old. Plenty of time to be disturbed, scared or eaten by a predator including Fido off his lead or Fido on one of those long flexi leads. Please keep your canine pals on a short lead at this time of year in the Dales. Yes it’s a pain in the posterior but it’s only for a few weeks and it will save the lives of ground nesters.
