Is this a young Curlew? It was on the marsh this morning. There are always lots of Curlews on the marsh in the winter, but I have never seen one at this time of the year.
Sorry about photo quality.
Hi,
scaling it off the tussocks and noting the dark line down to the straight bill I am happy it's a common Snipe :))

Thank you seymouraves, I tend to call all the birds that have a long bill a Curlew, now thanks to you I will know better in future.
