ID 290776500 © Htbphotos | Megapixl.com
A curlew stands perfectly still while being observed, on Macleay Island, Queensland, Australia. Curlews make scary sounds at night. Its call sounds like a wail or a scream in the night. When scared, it screeches. The Bush Stone-curlew or Bush Thick-knee (Burhinus grallarius) is a large ground- dwelling bird with a wingspan of 55-60 cm. They can live for 20 years, sometimes more. They are a terrestrial predator adapted to stalking and running. HTBphotos by John and Katharina Notarianni for websites, print and other media.
