We can ID the large wader in the first two photos as a juvenile Eurasian Curlew as follows:
- Upperparts are brown with whitish streaking
- What we can see of the underparts is white with dark streaking
- Long, downcurved, dark bill with pinkish base of the lower mandible
- Dark eye with whitish eyering
- Indistinct whitish supercillium
The Eurasian Curlew is a new species to our ebird Photographic Life List.
