I could be a Curlew (Storspov in Norwegian). But there is a smaller very similar relative, with the Latin name Numenius phaeopus (Småspov). They where hunting crabs, and I don't believe Curlew hunts crabs. So it could also be that one. Size of the bird also indicates Småspov. I'm no expert, both species are observed here.
I have other shots of the same bird, more specie oriented shots ... Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C.
