One afternoon as I drive at local community football park here in Ijede Lagos Nigeria I spotted a curlew among group of egrets. I've seen this bird around the intake pond of our Thermal station, however cant get a photograph because of safety regulations that no photograph inside the power station. Last Saturday it showed up in the field, however I don't know if this is same species of Curlew that we spot in the Philippines?

Wow! that must have been a really low car. Great angle on the first shot! Yes it does look like a curlew. Let's wait for the experts.

It is amazing to see birds come in different shapes, size, and colors and one thing in common is that they fly. Well done Lawrence & Mabuhay.

Thanks sir Ely, when you look at them at a distance you wont appreciate as they all looks similar, but if they are photographed and up close they are beautiful creature. Salamat
