Curlew
Original medium. Coloured Pencil. This is an open edition Giclée print.
The curlew's call is one of its most enchanting features, often described as a mournful, bubbling "cur-loo" sound, which gives the bird its name.
Recognized as one of the largest wading birds in Europe, the curlew is distinguished by its long, down-curved bill, mottled brown plumage, and graceful, upright stance. Strangford Lough, a designated Special Protection Area (SPA), is a haven for curlews, particularly in autumn and winter. The lough’s extensive mudflats, salt marshes, and seagrass beds provide abundant feeding grounds for the curlew’s diet, which includes worms, crustaceans, and small mollusks.
