Curlew, also known as the common curlew or Eurasian curlew (Numenius arquata) can be found around the Fuerteventura coast.
Easily recognisable by their long thin, down-curved bills and their mottled brown plumage they can often be seen searching for food with their long bills around rock pools or wading in shallow water.

Curlew at Los Lagos beach in El Cotillo, hard to spot until they move as they just blend in to the volcanic rocks.
