		The Slender-billed Curlew in Northumberland, 1998 - 'plate 164'
		What the image highlights is both the danger in assessing a record from a single image and the credit that must be given to Tim Cleeves for going public when it was such a rare and difficult bird.
		Image 4 (plate 164 in BB and also below) is sharper and shows the Slender-billed Curlew turned having moved very slightly to the left.

	Submission No:257
		An interesting submission that involves the sighting of a bird considered to be a Eurasian Curlew Numenius torquata close to the mouth of the Lower Daintree River in North Queensland on 23 October 1998.
		As the bird was in flight throughout the observation, the white on the back, rump & uppertail were very noticeable and the underwing was especially white and conspicuous.
		This is perfect for Eurasian Curlew and combined with the estimated size rules out any chance of our more familiar Eastern Curlew.

	sociology - Curlew
		The curlews are a group of eight wader species, characterised by a long slender downcurved bill and mainly brown plumage with little seasonal change.
		The Upland Sandpiper is an odd bird which is closely related to the curlews, distinguished from them by its yellow legs, long tail and shorter, less curved bill.
		Note that the stone-curlews are not true curlews (family Scolopacidae) but members of the family Burhinidae, which is in the same order Charadriiformes, but only distantly related within it.

	Canadian Biodiversity: Eskimo Curlew
		In the breeding grounds, the Eskimo curlew nested primarily in open areas of tundra; the transition zone to spruce south of the tundra, described as lichen woodland, was another nesting habitat.
		A Eurasian curlew shot in England was discovered to be thirty-two years of age, as it was banded as a chick and still wore the band (Austin (1967) in Gollop, 1978).
		Habitat deterioration is considered as one cause of Eskimo curlew population decline, and human population increases in both the wintering grounds and the breeding grounds would have posed a threat for this reason.

	First european bird to become extinct
		Only nine slender-billed curlews - which breed in Russia and central Asia and winter in places such as the Mediterranean - are known to have been seen throughout the world last year.
		A smaller cousin of the familiar Eurasian Curlew, one of Britain's best-known wetland birds, the slender-billed has for several years been classed as "critically endangered" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
		Slender-billed Curlews are generally about 20% smaller than Eurasian Curlews and their long, curved bill is more delicate but superficially they are very similar and can only be told apart through careful examination.
