Watch: High-tech help for Wales most threatened bird

Efforts to save Wales’ most threatened bird species, the curlew, saw electric fencing go up around nests to protect their chicks from foxes and off-lead dogs.

Trail camera footage from a wetland reserve near Wrexham shows chicks surviving behind the fencing.

It is giving hope for the bird after an expert assessment warned the upland wader could be gone as a “viable breeding species” by 2033.

As few as 400 curlew still breed in Wales and their nests are so hard to find that thermal imaging drones were trialled as a way to find and help more birds through the breeding season.
