Lower (or zero) fox density is a plausible explanation for why urban
Bush Stone-Curlews are much more common further north.

Years ago I posted here a picture of a Chestnut-backed Button-quail we
accidentally killed on the Kakadu Highway when it flew in front of our
vehicle.  I recall someone recently posting an account of a collision
with a Peregrine.  But I can't recall any calls for criminal charges
or outpourings against motorists who accidentally kill protected or
threatened fauna.  Seems inconsistent.

Fox densities are quite high in the Brisbane area. This includes most bits of the landscape mosaic. Residential, commercial, industrial and even mangrove areas.
