Curlew Numenius arquata - Mr & Mrs

The male with his less curved shorter bill leads the way while the female with her very long down curved open bill follows behind.

Sadly in 2015 Curlews were added to the Red List on the UK Conservation Status Report, red being the highest conservation priority. The RSPB has launched an action plan - "Curlew Life Project" - which sets out the key interventions needed to reverse the decline of Curlews.

 

Thank you all for your kind responses.
