The Eurasian stone-curlew, Eurasian thick-knee, or simply stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus).
The Eurasian stone curlew occurs throughout Europe, North Africa and southwestern Asia. It is a summer migrant in the more temperate European and Asian parts of its range, wintering in Africa. Although the species is of Least Concern, some populations are showing declines due to agricultural intensification. For example, a French population has declined with 26% over 14 years
Raised in around 3000 BC, one of the earliest stone circles in Britain. It's not known why such stone circles were built but they are thought to be meeting places for trading or worship. This was taken in March 2020, before our first lock-down.

The left most foreground standing stone in this photo of the Ring of Brodgar was struck by lightning on 5 June 1980, splitting it vertically. It's an incredible survivor, one of only 36 of the original 60 placed there between 2500 BC and 2000 BC.

A metaphor.
Completely cold. ... Without emotion.
The use of "stone" to mean "completely" seems to date back to the late 1500's.

The Bush stone-curlew is an Australian species and inhabits open plains and woodlands. Apparently they are mainly nocturnal which explains why they usually don't move much whenever I see them in the aviary at our zoo. :)
A "fairy stone" discovered while walking in Mossneuk Wood on the Lochliboside Hills (location removed).
It was lying in the grass just off the path and just seemed such a nice wee object to find. It's still there I hope.
This wonderful old barn is actually made of stone which is uncommon even tho stones are VERY plentiful around here! This view is from across the river, so is the rear end of the building.
