I caught up with lots of them in Norfolk. The beach at Titchwell held quite a few, and that's where I took these pictures.
The sea was the calmest I've seen it here. Usually it's blowing a gale and it's really choppy. On this day you can see the waves just gently lapping while the birds go about their business.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous little birds! Lovely images!
ReplyDeleteI too love the curlews. According to an old saying here, when you hear their calls, the ice (that covers the lakes) is not strong enough any more to support your weight.
ReplyDeleteHello, I like the long curved bill on the Curlew! Beautiful birds and great photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
Beautiful. I've heard our North American species, and I'd have to agree with your "Nan"...they have a beautiful call.
ReplyDeleteWonderful images Adam....and, thanks for adding your link today at I'd Rather B Birdin'.
What a handsome bird with a perfect background of the water!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot of the curlew. I'm not familiar with it but it has an interesting bill. Maybe I have seen them at the ocean and didn't pay enough attention, I was probably watching the water.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteLooks like he could dig deep for his lunch. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures!
