The warbling call of the curlew has returned to Trasna Island in Lower Lough Erne.

Conservationists are celebrating the first successful breeding birds on the island in living memory.

RSPB (NI) manages several islands in Lough Erne and has its nature reserve on the Lower Lough.

It acquired Trasna Island in 2017 and since then has worked with the Lough Erne Landscape Partnership to restore habitat to support the return of vulnerable species including the curlew, along with the lapwing, snipe and redshank.
