It's World Curlew Day tomorrow, and here is a reminder about why we celebrate:

Please write to your MP and encourage them to join a drop-in session to mark World Curlew Day on 21st April, 3–4pm in Room O, Portcullis House. The event will be supported by Curlew Action as we build support for the UK Curlew Action Plan.
