#RIP Slenderbill Curlew...
"While Europe has not been immune to the wave of bird extinctions that have swept the world since the 1500s, those such as the great auk and Canary Island oystercatcher were largely island species. The slender-billed curlew, however, is the first mainland European species to go extinct during this time period."
