another curlew blip

Tottered down to the marina again and took loads of shots of curlews, shelducks, and redshanks. I have a couple of great photos of a curlew preening (joke: how does a curlew preen with that vicious bill? answer: very carefully... sorry) and another with its bill open but they have some camera shake when looked at large. So this one should be OK large.

You can see how deeply the curlew goes into the mud by the tide mark near its eyes.
