Hi Bob, wieder geniale Fotos von dem Brachvogel, der wirklich nicht oft zu sehen ist. Danke für die heutige Musik, die ich sehr vermisst habe. Eine guten Start ins Wochenende wünscht Dir Irmi
Hi Bob, Indeed curlews are very shy and elusive birds, I also find it very difficult to get close enough for decent pictures! Your 500 mm did a very good job though and these photos are quite detailed in spite of the distance :) One can even see the mud on the beak!! Well done, keep well!!
Hi Bob, wonderful series on the Curlew! It is a cool looking bird. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, cheers Eileen.
Deletei like how his coloration compliments the grasses. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images of this Curlew.
ReplyDeleteHe needs deep into the mud to search for food.
Well done, Bob.
Yes indeed, the mud is soft, very good for Curlews Irma.
DeleteIt was seen by your "non-500mm" eyes earlier.
ReplyDeletenice bird
ReplyDeleteNice one Adam.
DeleteBob, nice shots.
ReplyDeleteSlimbridge have plenty of money, ask them to move the hide nearer.
Some of the hides are positioned wrong, I'll tell them Adrian.

Hola Bob,buenas tomas,a pesar de la lejania del Zarapito.Un abrazo
ReplyDeleteI like seeing birds in habitat too though, Bob, and even at that distance I can see it's bill is shorter than the Curlew we have here!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see one Sonja.
DeleteVery much in focus!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully photographed Bob kind and nice.
ReplyDeleteNice weekend, greetings Tinie
A very muddy bill. I hope its hunting was as successful as yours. A great series. Again.
ReplyDeleteIt hunts far better that I can EC.
DeleteWonderful images Bob... shows the bird in it's habitat so well.
ReplyDeleteBob, far away but beautiful! Glad I don't have to stick my nose into the mud to find things to eat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird, Bob, and that beak is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend.
Thanks Lisa, and you have a beautiful weekend as well.
DeleteAs always, stunning images! I love Curlews... those beaks are fascinating and incredibly effective.
ReplyDeleteHi Bob!! Wow what a unique beak!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the bird in the grass.
ReplyDeleteHi Bob,

One can even see the mud on the beak!!
Well done, keep well!!
Strange little thingies on his beak. Such a pretty bird.
ReplyDeleteThat is mud on its beak Thérèse.
DeleteTo me it's always a miracle that they can find food and eat with this beak. Fantastic photo's Bob.
ReplyDeleteDeep in the ground probably looking for food, because it has mud on the bow. Regards.
ReplyDeleteYou are dead right, the soft mud is on its bill Giga.
DeleteHet is je goed gelukt we kunnen het heel mooi zien zelfs de veertjes knap hoor lieve groetjes Danielle
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird Bob!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful images !
