Man sets off on Nidderdale walk dressed as a curlew

Matt Trevelyan made the Eurasian curlew costume out of polystyrene and bamboo.

Good for him! He made a real nice costume as well. Had me thinking of the episodes with the Crowcroft Challenge and where Compo wears a pigeon outfit from Wally while trying to fly or hang glide.

Here we go again into the Wild blue Yonder wasn't it ?

What a wonderful way to RAISE AWARENESS on the plight of this bird. Apparently, the curlew is suffering a loss of habitat. So sad. I hope that his Nidderdale walk has brought much awareness. I wonder if he was inspired by the Crowcroft Challenge.
