Not a butterfly but a bird

Post by Dave McCormick »

Had a debate today. I was on an island in Strangford Lough today and photographed this bird. I thought it was a whimbrel but someone said he thought it might be a curlew based on the length of the bill but wasn't sure himself and now I am not sure. Not the best photo, but can anyone ID this bird?
