Curlew (strictly, Eurasian Curlew), Numenius arquata. Both the genus name and the species epithet refer to the outrageously long curved bill: Numenius from the Greek for "new moon", arquata from the Latin for "bow-shaped". Though if extremely long bills are what you're after, check out the Long-Billed Curlew (a North American species) and the Far Eastern Curlew. Or if you prefer slender, too late: we appear to have already driven the Slender Billed Curlew extinct. The Curlew has perhaps the most beautifully evocative call of any bird I know. It's the sound of wild moors and marshes. Oil on canvas, 50 x 50 cm.
