The stone curlew is a pretty, timid-looking thing and the male only grows to about 60cm high. This mother and 6 week-old baby demonstrate the leggy attribute in my heading.

At night, the curlew makes a screeching sound, similar to a child or woman in great distress. They hunt in groups and the whole lot of them can wake you with their screeches.

oh wow Stone Curlews. We see them so rarely
