Before heading home in Sydney, we decided to pull through Woy Woy and then
onto St Hubert's Island (approx 70-80 km north of Sydney CBD) where with a
bit of searching > spotted 3 BUSH STONE-CURLEWS in the mangroves. They were
as expected standing motionless being not dark yet. I have never seen more
than 3 Stone-curlews here at > a time and was wondering if anyone out there
has seen more?
When I was in Cairns I went to the cemetery near the botanical gardens since
it was supposed to be a good place for them. I was amazed that in the middle
of the day,
I could see at least 10 just standing in one spot and looking around. I
can't
imagine there would be anywhere much better in Australia to see them.
