Legend is that on a boat from Pen Llŷn to Anglesey, St Beuno’s book of sermons fell overboard but was retrieved by a brown bird with a long, curved bill. St Beuno decreed that Curlew nests would always be difficult to find and should be protected for ever. Everyone involved with trying to save Curlews at RSPB Conwy can confirm that their nests are, indeed, difficult to spot – but protecting the largest European wading bird, is vital. Mottled-brown Curlews wade in the sun-drenched mad-flaps as a lone Curlew flies overhead. In the words of Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas, “throats where many rivers meet, the Curlews cry.”
