🐦Eurasian Curlew
Le Courlis cendré (Numenius arquata) est une espèce d'oiseaux charadriiformes de la famille des Scolopacidae. C'est un limicole qui niche en Eurasie. C'est celui des courlis qui habite l'espace le plus étendu, puisqu'il se reproduit dans toute l'Europe tempérée et l'Asie (jusqu'en Asie du Sud-Est). On en a même aperçu en Nouvelle-Écosse. En Europe, on l’appelle souvent simplement « courlis », parce que c’est l’espèce de courlis la plus commune. Il peut facilement être confondu avec le Courlis corlieu (Numenius phaeopus). Celui-ci est plus petit, la courbure de son bec est moins régulière, et sa tête présente un motif de plumage différent ; il migre sur de plus grandes distances. C'est un oiseau à longue durée de vie, un spécimen ayant atteint 32 ans.
