Curlew Birds With Music On Visit To Firth Of Forth Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Curlew birds on visit to the coast of the Firth of Forth near Culross in Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. The curlew is the largest European wading bird, instantly recognisable on estuaries and moors. Spot the curlew by its long, down curved bill, brown upperparts and long legs. You will see curlews feeding in groups on tidal mudflats, saltmarshes and nearby farmland. Whilst some Curlews spend the winter in Ireland and France, there is an influx of Scandinavian-breeding curlews here, who take advantage of the relatively mild winters in Scotland. In the spring and summer, curlews migrate to their breeding grounds in upland areas of rough pasture, heather moorland and wetlands. The curlew can be seen around the whole UK coastline with the largest concentrations of found at Morecambe Bay, the Solway Firth, the Wash, and the Dee, Severn, Humber and Thames estuaries. Greatest breeding numbers are found in N Wales, the Pennines, the southern uplands and E Highlands of Scotland and the Northern Isles.
