A vital part of the ECHOES project is the study of overwintering Eurasian Curlew along the shores of the Irish Sea. In this webinar, our researchers will tell you about our research and what we have found out so far.
There will be a LIVE Q&A, wonderful music and we will announce the winners of our Draw a Curlew competition.

Méabh Ní Bheaglaoich:
Glaoch an Chúirliúin (The Curlew’s Call)
Méabh is a musician based in the West of Ireland. She forms part of Barddair an Cheoil – a small group of poets and musicians dedicated to collaborating, writing and performing in their native languages – Irish and Welsh. They have chosen as their themes the ocean and estuaries, the changes brought about there by climate change, and the creatures threatened by these changes. Méabh has kindly offered to play us one of her songs. If you like what you hear (and you will!), do tune into the Barddair an Cheoil gig later on World Curlew Day.
