Bush stone curlews,Cornubia,SE Qld

["Col and Chris" <>]

On Tuesday morning I noticed a bush stone curlew walking along our back 
boundary in outer suburban Brisbane. He disappeared behind a shed and some 
stealthy investigation uncovered two adults and two juvenile birds (about as 
tall as the parents knee). Was out for much of the day but later in the 
afternoon returned to find the whole family wandering around the yard to within 
about 5 metres of our back patio. The juveniles would either stand in the 
shadow of a parent or sit in the shade under some bottlebrush trees. We were 
able to observe them for about an hour and to take some lovely video of their 
movement. A great birding experience.
