1357: flying downstream.
Observation details
Heard calls at 0639 and saw 1 flying E, more or less over the S part of the property, S of the start point. At 0731 I heard a LBCU N of the photo point, the full "curlew" call with the stuttered beginning and the up- and downslurred ending. At 1205, heard "curlew curlew" vocalizations from distant N of the cross-fence. Saw a curlew N of the photo point at 1356, gliding ca SE, then changing course to ca ESE and continuing into the distance, alternating short series of flaps (roughly 5 in a series) with longer glides. Last seen S of Sevenmile Cr, well E of head Ln, still well over 5x shrub height (increased altitude from when flew over here?). At roughly 1430, heard short LBCU calls from somewhere SE of reach 4.
