“Bavaria-wide sensation’: The curlew returns to the former air base site. Adult curlews would have to fly up to 20 kilometers to reach the breeding areas.
Flooded areas where predators are reluctant to penetrate are ideal for breeding. The only reliable data available worldwide on the behavior of young curlewing is collected by the LBV's telemetry project, which expires at the end of 2024. The most important finding from the project for local conservation is that good night areas are in absolute short supply in Bavaria.
