In 1985 the number of breeding pairs of stone-curlews had reduced to fewer than 150 nationwide, with about a third based in eastern England.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) started attempts to increase their numbers that year by conserving, restoring and creating nesting habitats in Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.

Its conservation officer Tim Cowan said there were now 226 breeding pairs locally, which he described as "remarkable".
