Steve, many thanks for the excellent video. The name given to A3 is Margus but at this stage I am not able to tell you the sex. This bird was released into the Sanctuary in September 2015. It is great you managed
to capture the footage for this is a pair that we did not know had bred. Margus appears to have been last recorded in April 2016. I assume from the footage the video was taken around the large dam.

At Mulligans Flat today three Bush Stone-curlews – two adults and a young bird. The leg tag I was able to read was A3.
