The August 2002 Druridge Bird
On August 9 and August 10, 2002, and possibly for a few days prior to that, another bird showing characteristics of Slender-billed Curlew was reported from Druridge Bay. This bird was described as being 25% smaller than Eurasian Curlew with a slender bill tapering to a narrow point, with black spotting on its flanks, and unmarked white underwings. This bird was not photographed, and only seen by a small number of observers, and no formal submission was made to the Rarities Committee.
