Some of the UK’s most endangered birds that have been reared and released on Dartmoor have been tracked to Portugal.

A number of curlew introduced to Devon this summer travelled the 1,300 miles (2,092km) to the Algarve.

“Several individuals travelled around the South West estuaries in Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, however, this year some undertook an epic journey south, following the warmer weather,” said Jon Avon, curlew recovery project officer from the Duchy of Cornwall.
