Magnetic Island - Bush Stone Curlews

I had some great sightings of these curious birds. Very well
camouflaged, quite shy and unique looking.

They have long, stilt-like legs, and earthy-toned plumage.
The most striking feature are their enormous eyes.

They have even been celebrated with metal sculptures outside
a local history museum.





 They have this strange streamlined stance when they move away and are feeling threatened.
