While out walking with my dogs in the fields behind Holywell Pond in Northumberland, a pair of Curlew flew near to a small pond and stayed long enough for me to capture my first photographs of these lovely birds. There was a thin covering of ice on the pond and the water reflected the blue of the sky which helped to make the bird easier to see as its feathers were a very good camouflage against the surrounding grassland.

The bush stone curlew is an intriguing bird of Australia, who wanders the open plains and woodlands. Nicknamed the 'screaming woman bird', they are known for their forlorn night call that conjures up death and murder.

This beautiful design combines the elegant Eastern Curlew with the movement of water within its wetland environment.

The Whimbrel, Numenius phaeopus, is a wader in the large family Scolopacidae. It is one of the most widespread of the curlews. Whimbrels feed by probing soft mud for small invertebrates and by picking small crabs and similar prey off the surface. Photographed in the mangroves in the estuaries of Qhepos, Costa Rica.
