CURLEW AS WELL

   Another bird to make an appearance yesterday was a Curlew which I noticed while it was still 100 yards away but over the course of an hour or so it gradually made its way over until it was only 10 yards away and began to search in the foliage on the mud for food. Eventually it came out into the open in the sunshine and kept several photographers happy for a little while. Once again this was the closest view that I have had of this species and I had to marvel about how little the birds in general were worried about the close proximity of us humans. By this time 3 or 4 other photographers had joined me in the area along the marsh and I think all must have got some great images.
