"Numenius: The Majestic Curlew of the Avian World" With its elegant long bill and distinctive curved shape, the Numenius, also known as the Common Curlew or Long-billed Curlew, captivates bird enthusiasts worldwide. This magnificent species, scientifically named Scolopax arquata or Numenius arquata, has left a lasting impression on nature lovers throughout history. On page 78 of Morris' book lies a breathtaking image of an Eastern Curlew gracefully perched on paper. Picture No. 10885863 showcases another remarkable moment in time - a Numenius arquata roosting on a saltmarsh in Cromarty Firth, Scotland during April. Its presence adds charm to the serene landscape. Intriguingly captured by lens and brush alike is the Long-Billed Curlew hunting for Fiddler Crabs amidst sandy terrain. Witnessing this natural spectacle reminds us of their resourcefulness and adaptability. During low tide at Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve in Northumberland, England, we find yet another enchanting sight - a curious Curlew preening itself with utmost care on a mudflat. This scene unfolds in January when these birds brave chilly temperatures to maintain their impeccable plumage. Turning to page 263 reveals "The Curlew, " an exquisite watercolor painting accompanied by manuscript text from 1810-17. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation that immortalizes these avian wonders. Delving deeper into history takes us back to Januar1774 when Staten Island Tierra del Fuego witnessed the arrival of a new curlew species - beautifully depicted through watercolors from 1772-75 (w / c). Such discoveries highlight how exploration expands our knowledge about these fascinating creatures. While exploring various curlews around the world, one cannot overlook other notable members such as Bostrychia hagedash, commonly known as the Hadada or hadeda ibis.
