For many shorebirds like the Long-billed Curlew, the seashore is a source of food, a restful stopover on a long migratory journey, and often a place to nest and raise their chicks right there on the sand.

Have you ever heard a curlew? They are the largest European wading bird, famous for their evocative call, but are threatened with extinction in the UK.

Long-billed curlews are North America's largest shorebird. These distinctive birds can be found in North Dakota for about two months each year during nesting season. Because they are in decline across their range, researchers are capturing and fitting some of these birds with transmitters to learn more about their habitat use, migration and hopefully help determine what factors are driving the population loss.
