Eurasian Curlew
Eurasian Curlew is in the large shorebird category most similar in appearance to the Eastern Curlew which the latter is less seen in Malaysia. It is mostly creamy-washed in color, differentiated from other curlews by its plain, unpatterned underwing with a more whitish back and rump compared to Eastern Curlew which have more rufous and buffier colors.
They have extremely long downturn bill, of at least a footer in length. The one I saw in Jeram Selangor has a beak as long as its legs which at least 18 inches.
