However I am never sure. Are there...

    Owl in boat

    Curlew or not

    Thank you. They were not red shanks, There were red shanks about, and they seemed to large. Although they had longish beck, I am not certain which way they pointed. I think the suggestion they were godwits is the best answer, having looked up the references,

    Curlew or not

    Whilst on holiday in North Devon, at Fremington, I saw what I thought was three curlews. they were about the right size ( from about 50 plus yards).
