Curlew.


Above, this Curlew has been wandering around over our garden wall for over a week now. It doesn't look very well, but seems to be feeding on worms ok and it can fly, with some effort. Lets hope it pulls through.

Below, while taking a pic of the poorly Curlew over the wall, a few other healthier specimens flew in including this one with an absolutely massive bill. Its almost the length of the rest of it!

  1. You'd think that beak was rather awkward to carry around!
