It is a curlew Dave - they do vary in size apparently (according to Birds of Britain & Europe - Heinzel,Fitter & Parslow) Possibly spent too much time in the river and shrunk!! |

Just had a great catch up here PeppiB ... fantastic shots of the Kingfisher and Redpolls, and lovely to see the Teal and Curlew. An interesting construction job in your last set of photos too!! for sharing those.

A couple from a very quiet Saltholme reserve![]() ![]() And this isn't snow - they are all gulls ![]() Allegedly there are herring, common, meditterranean, icelandic and a glaucus in that lot! But here is something unusual for these parts this early in the year

:clap: Just had a great catch up. Like the images of the kingfisher. Some great sightings, shame you didn't see the rare gull. It's nice to know the sea isn't as polluted now, I was trying to picture it glowing amber. Hope you found the fresh air bracing, even if it was a bit on the cold side. for the update

Great images PeppiB ![]() Plenty of species about and i would love to have spent time looking out for those various gulls....most birders can't be bothered to go through flocks of larids like that but you never know what you might turn up! |
