If it weren’t in the water it would’ve been perfectly camouflaged among the rocks on the shore!

Glad you told us although I think those above it are a variety of sea gull. Don’t think we have the curlew here in the US. Very interesting bird. Great shot.

  Thanks, Anita 😁 I think the other birds are juvenile black-headed gulls.

Oh, you’ve no need to tell us Yorkshire types that. Luckily we see them often in the Dales. And hear them too.
