you could knock them over with a stick on Great Keppell Island when I was
there last July

Catch a ferry to Magnetic Island and there you will see hundreds throughout
the residential areas. Bush Stone-curlew heaven.

After reading the accounts of people in my home State looking for Bush
Stone Curlews in the Wimmera, I thought I should relate what happened to
me today.
My vehicle was low on fuel so I programmed my GPS to take me to the
nearest servo; Caltex on Warburton St, Townsville. When I got there, the
servo was long gone and it was just a cyclone fenced vacant lot . . .
with 16 Bush Stone Curlews standing or lying about the site. There were
another 5 or 6 in a fenced sports ground next to the vacant block.
I think that I have only seen 2 or 3 Bush Stone Curlews before (not in
captivity) so it was an amazing sight for me, particularly as they are in
a built up area.
