A beautiful dainty little bird, great shot Ken!

Thanks for your kind comments
re Curlew bill size, Collins Bird Guide says "Eurasian Curlew- largest wader with unmistakable very long, evenly decurved bill ( longest on female, shorter on male and juvenile)
Not sure if the same applys to the Eastern species
