Slender-billed curlew by Chris Gomersall
Witnessing an extinction - the last slender-billed curlew
Event details
About the event
In February 1995, RSPB photographer Chris Gomersall was working on assignment in Morocco to document the Atlantic coastal wetlands, including Merja Zerga, a known wintering site for the slender-billed curlew. Down to a single individual, and sightings becoming infrequent, the prospects of finding the bird and being able to get close enough to photograph it in only two days were not promising. Here’s what happened.
Lunch is included in the ticket price.
