It is mostly brown in color, differentiated from other curlews by its plain, unpatterned brown underwing. It is not only the largest curlew but probably the world's largest sandpiper, at {{convert|60|-|66|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length and {{convert|110|cm|in|abbr=on}} across the wings. The body is reportedly {{convert|565|-|1150|g|lb|abbr=on}}, which may be equaled by the Eurasian curlew.[3] The extremely long bill, at {{convert|12.8|-|20.1|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length, rivals the bill size of the closely related long-billed curlew as the longest bill for a sandpiper. The Far Eastern curlew spends its breeding season in northeastern Asia, including Siberia to Kamchatka, and Mongolia. Its breeding habitat is composed of marshy and swampy wetlands and lakeshores. Most individuals winter in coastal Australia, with a few heading to South Korea, Thailand, Philippines and New Zealand, where they stay at estuaries, beaches, and salt marshes. During its migration the Far Eastern curlew commonly passes the Yellow Sea. It uses its long, decurved bill to probe for invertebrates in the mud. It may feed in solitary but it generally congregates in large flocks to migrate or roost. Its call is a sharp, clear whistle, cuuue-reee, often repeated. As of 2006, there are an estimated 38,000 individuals in the world. Formerly classified as least concern by IUCN, it was found to have been rarer than previously believed and thus its status was updated to Vulnerable in the 2010 IUCN red list of threatened species.[1] In Australia its status under the EPBC Act is Critically Endangered.[4] TaxonomyIn 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the Far Eastern curlew in his Ornithologie based on a specimen. He used the French name Le courly de Madagascar and the Latin Numenius madagascariensis.[5] Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.[6] When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson.[6] One of these was the far eastern curlew, for which he coined the binomial name Scolopax madagascariensis.[7] {{clear}}Gallery==References== 1. ^1 {{IUCN|id=22693199 |title=Numenius madagascariensis |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2015 |year=2015 |accessdate=24 January 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Numenius_%28Numenius%29_madagascariensis |title=Species Numenius (Numenius) madagascariensis (Linnaeus, 1766) |author=Australian Biological Resources Study|date=12 February 2010|work=Australian Faunal Directory|publisher=Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, Australian Government|accessdate=13 December 2018|location=Canberra, Australian Capital Territory}} 3. ^CRC Handbook of Avian Body Masses by John B.
