The Curlew is the largest wader in Europe, and has a distinctive long down-curved bill. Their plumage is mostly brown on the upper body with streaks on the neck and underparts, grading to white below the tail. The white rump is conspicuous in flight. Both sexes and the juveniles look alike. Its call is a very distinctive "cooo-leeee" which gives the bird its common name.

He certainly is a fascinating little character and he stands out well against the grass. Nice job, Richie.

Hard to capture, but you've succeeded in doing this very well Richie.

Cornelius was here either to enjoy your image or say 'thank you' for your interest in my work. Please CLICK HERE to see my journal!
Looks like a female mallard that has gone through some kind of bill distortion.

In the proportion beak/body he beats ibis and others. Nice clear and natural shot Richie.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
What a clear capture. Would you want to get in a sword fight with him? With that bill you would lose.

I can see your shoot with the Last of the Summer Wine, plus one was very successful Count B. You even had the Owd Timer using his Nikon. Very clear and you seem right at home with your new, old camera.
