Curlew Camouflage

[John 2]

Some birds display their colours, others prefer not to be noticed. Thought I had lucked out one evening up on the fells until I heard rusting behind me.

G'day John

Spectacular bird in its surroundings - well done
It is a very different bird from the Aussie curlew that I know here

Lovely image! Curlew will always have a special meaning for me, it was the name of the ship we sailed to give my Daniel a burial at sea. Very nice image!

Thanks all for commenting.

@jeffashman -That's poignant Jeff. It's a beautiful bird to be linked with a memory. Not too raw a reminder I hope though.
@Ozzie_Traveller -It's different to the US Curlew as well from what I can see on the forum.. Do you have any images?

Hec. Talk about the evil eye. Nature is strange. They are very different.
