The Curlew is one of my favourite waders. I never tire of watching these large waders, whether on our coast in winter or on the moors during their nesting season. Not only are they a pleasure to see, but their call over the mashes is also a joy to hear. Just one picture today, and a video – something I have not captured before, a Curlew catching a Ragworm.

great capture Andy!

Wow – that was quite the worm. Can the Curlews hear the worm like Robins do? Our Robins will tilt their head as they hear the vibrations of the worm in the ground and go pecking for it then.
