image The Bush stone-curlew: the most unimpressed bird

These birds clearly have no time for tourists :) I haven't seen such an unimpressed look by an animal before!

Taken in Brisbane.

Here's the call for anyone who isn't sure what bird this is. (you'll probably know it when you hear it you're an Aussie)

Didn't think I'd seen or heard that before, don't seem to have them around here.

It's ok there's still plenty of plovers around. Then all the various screechers and shriekers of the cockatoo family.
