Eoghan is the manager of the Breeding Waiters European Project. matched

We've had him on the programme in the past. matched

This time he's talking about Curlew. matched

Eoghan, how are you? matched

Hiya Derek, how's things? matched

All good, Eoin, at this end. matched

Thank you very much indeed. matched

Now, will you start by explaining exactly what Headstarting is? matched

There's a few questions come to my mind. matched

I should ask you the second question first, because I'm afraid I might forget it. matched

But in Ireland, we have, as you said, 100 breeding pairs that are resident here in Ireland. matched

Is that correct? matched

Is that what you mean by that? matched

Because we do get a lot of winter visitors, don't we? matched

Huge numbers. matched

There's nothing wrong with this population. matched

So the question is, and it's related to that, my question is this. matched

So you've taken these eggs from Yorkshire, from the Yorkshire Dales. matched

Are they eggs from wild bird populations that were resident in Yorkshire or that came in? matched

in the winter. matched
