Old farrier Posted 21 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 21 hours ago It was definitely having a bad day 😊 Found it on the tide line last night and it was definitely a bit worse for wear thought it possibly was suffering from lead poisoning 🙄 or bird flu or maybe just the stormy weather 4 minutes ago, islandgun said: Curlew or Whimbrel Or a godwit it never had webbed feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushandpull Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago Definitely Curlew. Whimbrel has shorter bill and legs, and there are two dark stripes on the crown running from front to back. On the quarry list in my youth (as were Godwits). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
