Sanday - Curlew in flight Four curlew (Numenius arquata) in flight inland from Scuthvie Bay on the island of Sanday in the Orkneys. Their distinctive long down-curved bill can be seen clearly here, though this is not a particularly good way of identifying them as several other waders also have such bills, however, the curlew is considerably larger than most other waders. There were many more of these birds with their haunting and evocative call - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7550409">HY7644 : Sanday - Curlew over Scuthvie Bay</a> for a small flock of them.

Sanday - Two curlew in flight As with <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7550420">HY7644 : Sanday - Curlew in flight</a> these curlew (Numenius arquata) were flying inland from Scuthvie Bay on Sanday.
