Numenius arquata better known as the Curlew.
The largest European wading bird, recognisable on estuaries or moors by its long down curved bill, brown upper parts, long legs and call . The Curlew here is seen from the van window as I am sure he would have flown if I had opened the door. Spotted on the shore on The Menai Straits North Wales.
REFLECTIONS FROM MY WORLD old blog. 
Very unique beak – no one will mess with the Curlew.
