9 Eskimo Curlew Numenius borealis
arquata which flew up in front of me. At this time of the year
thousands of Curlews gather on the mudflats of Oostvoorne to
undergo a complete moult.
A tiny tawny-coloured Eskimo Curlew Numenius borealis flew
amidst the birds I photographed. The last known picture of a
live Eskimo Curlew was taken in April 1962 in Texas by Don Bleitz.
There are no pictures known of live birds taken in Europe of this
now extremely rare species , in fact the last reported occurrence
in Europe dates from September 1887 when a bird was shot on
the Isles of Scilly, England.
