Eastern Curlew

In the swampy green marshlands,
You will find a rare bird.
With a long, curved beak,
And a song not heard.
Long legs like a stick,
Eating crabs and ghost shrimp.
This strange looking creature,
Walks with a limp.
Its life is endangered,
Due to hunting and loss.
Help protect the curlew,
And look after the moss.
