    I would love to see a curlew!!! And I do see that little collar around the dove, so cool you saw it, considering how rare they are!!

      They're kind of a quick spooked bird, so I feel privileged of getting so close to it to photograph its profile completely.

      He kept himself quite busy preening...oblivious to me. Well, at least that was the feeling...I KNOW he knew I was there.

      It was tricky getting the curlew to stay still long enough for me to photograph him.

    Great bird shots. You have a great variety of birds and so different from what I have in my area. The Curlew has such a long thin beak, very interesting. Love seeing your photos.
