On Sat 22/10 my wife and I saw two adult bush stone
curlews with two chicks in the carpark at Victoria Point (south east bayside
suburb of Brisbane). The chicks were about 1/4-1/3 size of the adults so i
believe they would have only been 1-2 weeks old.....
This is a busy area with boats being launched and
people using the picnic area and many cars. We have seen adult BSC here on a
number of occasions over the last ten years but this is the first time we have
seen chicks. It is great to see them surviving and breeding in this urban
location.
