A wetland restoration project which reintroduced bends and curves to a stream is up for an award.

Howgill Beck at RSPB Geltsdale was straightened before the 18th Century but a recent scheme had it "re-wiggled", improving wetland habitats in the area.

Birds including snipe, curlew, oystercatcher, lapwing and redshank have been recorded at the site.

The project, which has taken three years, was chosen by the River Restoration Centre (RRC) as a finalist in the UK River Prize Awards.
