Curlew keeping low profile
Nothing like keeping a low profile is there! Bush Stone Curlews, Burhinus grallarius, often stand like statues during the day blending into the foliage. However when they do move it is often in this 'rigid stealth mode' - slowly, quietly, and ready to fly away fast if all else fails. This family group unexpectedly came to do a brief backyard inspection. They're more active at night, and have a loud mournful cry. Size 54 - 59cm.
