Observation details
At 0903 I thought I heard a short, 1-syllable curlew call, then saw 1 flying E over reach 3 S of the stream, more or less paralleling the stream course. I watched it continue into the distance, alternating long glides on bowed wings with series of quick wingbeats without pauses. It seemed to be diverging a bit more S of the stream course when I lost sight of it, distant ca ESE. At 0939 I saw a single curlew flying W, moderately high, at least 100 m N of the stream in reach 2, with relatively fast, steady wingbeats and no glides. Heard no calls.
