Several tracking projects combine to determine the migration routes, wintering locations and breeding season movements of Welsh Curlew.

Recent BTO work focuses on understanding the variation in Curlew and other UK wader populations so that we can help suggest actions to conserve them.

Sophie Bennett reflects on her recent three month placement at the BTO and the value of taking a step back from a PhD.
