Glad you had a nice day Amanda.....i love the moors of Denbighshire,N.Wales....so bleak and barren yet fascinating and full of life at the same time!
There's nothing like the eerie call of a Curlew across a moor is there.

I've never heard one, as far as I know. Seen them in a few places though, including a couple at Arne last Saturday.
