Over the Edge

One more bird becomes extinct on our watch

Dec 15, 2024

Painting of a noble if sad-looking bird with long legs, long neck and a long, slender, down-curved bill. The curlew has brown feathers on back and wings and black spots on neck and breast. It stands on one leg with the other slighly raised. It is beside a clump of straggy grass with a water body and mountain in the background.
