Can you find curlews in Latvia, and where should you look?

Yes. The guide lists the Eurasian curlew, Kuitala in Latvian, as a local breeder and passage migrant in Latvia. Breeding birds use open bogs and wet grasslands, which the guide names as the species' breeding habitat. During migration the range of places widens: curlews also turn up on coastal feeding areas, shorelines, and other open ground, sometimes in flocks. Because the bird's clear whistles and bubbling calls carry across open country, listening is a good way to pick one out of a wide landscape. The curlew page links to Latvian bird records for further reading on where the species occurs.
