Curlew Numenius arquata - With Crab 2 of 2 photos

It was a fairly dull day when I watched this Curlew foraging for food on the south coast at Lepe. Catching a crab with its long bill is a skillful business. The first photo shows a small piece which broke off. I think this is a male (with a shorter, less sharply decurved bill.)
