Eurasian Curlew: 50–60 cm, wingspan 89–106 cm, Europe's largest wading bird with a very long decurved bill and mournful bubbling call. Breeds on upland moors, bogs, and wet grassland; winters on estuaries and coasts. Feeds on worms, crabs, and invertebrates. NT. Severely declining due to agricultural change on breeding grounds.
