Curlew at the Coast

This is my first Blog since I had to resurrect my website. Welcome if you haven’t been here before.

I was walking at the coast when I saw a Curlew. Having likely bred inland our Curlews migrate the short distance to the coast where they will spend the next few months Curlews are wary – there’s almost a relationship between how big a bird is and how wary. Cranes and Spoonbills are wary – warblers and tits for example are not.

Anyway, the Curlew was intent on feeding, and just as importantly, was in an area with much human (and indeed, car) traffic so it was accustomed to disturbance. This picture shows it looking up to check that there’s nothing to concern it.
