    Hurray for World Curlew Day

    21 April is designated World Curlew Day to raise awareness of the shore varieties of curlews, which are in decline globally and critically endangered in Australia. For some upbeat news, Curlew Day celebrates Boogie Woogie Bird, a joyous picture book about a bumbling Bush Stone-curlew who stumbles into love.
