Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata)

An uncommon winter migrant to the coastal areas, lagoons, tidal mudflats, estuaries, creeks, and grasslands of mainly the dry lowlands. Rarely occurs also in the wet zone coastal areas. It lives as solitary birds or as small to large scattered flocks, often in company with other waders, gulls, terns and likes.  Eurasian Curlew feeds on marine worms, shellfish and crustaceans by probing the mud, mostly when the tide begins to ebb. It breeds in Central and Northern Asia.
