Curlew (Numenius arquata)

I was in a hide at Willington when a flock of Curlew flew over and landed at the other end of the water on some grass. On the way home I went to the nearest platform and managed to get a shot of this one on it's own.

Nice one! Long enough bills on these European ones too, although the US as usual has to go bigger ;)
