RE: Some pictures of the Curlew

[fermentedphil]

Amazing birds! In the last picture, they almost look like the bird here in South Africa we call the hadeda (Hadada ibis).

We have the Eurasian Curlews here at Langebaan in the Cape. They migrate to South Africa from Europe and return every year.

[fermentedphil]

That is awesome! I have not been to Langebaan in ages. I think I was there in 2012 last. Way before my birding years! I should make a trip there.

[papilloncharity]

Ha, never been there myself and we will also will make a plan to go there sometime.
I have the information about the Curlews in my bird book.

Cheers and !BEER

What bird book do you have/use?

[papilloncharity]

I have a few books, but the one that I use most is the latest "Sasol Birds of Southern Africa"
The 5th revised edition and the main author is Ian Sinclair.

ISBN 978-1-77584-668-0

It has a new free bird-call app and you can listen to the sound of each featured bird by scanning the barcodes.
It also has 800 new illustrations.

[fermentedphil]

I think I have the older version one. It has helped me identify so many birds. And thanks for the mentioning of the bird-call app! I will look into that one. I guess it comes with the new book? the barcodes at least.

[papilloncharity]

Oh yeah, you simply scan the barcodes with your phone, then you can hear the bird singing.
