Shorebird with a long curved bull (6)

I believe the answer is:

curlew

(Other definitions for curlew that I've seen before include "Wading bird with long slender curved bill" , "Bird with long down-curved bill" , "Wading bird with long down-curved beak" , "Wader with downcurved bill" , "Large wading bird" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
