    When we got to the hide we could see there were geese across the river - too far away to photograph, or even count. But we did spend a bit of time watching a couple of Eurasian Curlews, my first for this season.

    Like latticework

    This one's my favorite of the Curlew shots. I love the light turning its wings into latticework, or maybe "Hardangersm" embroidery. I also love the open bill; the Curlews' calls are so mystical-sounding.
