When we headed into our hotel room on Magnetic Island, I opened our screen door then heard some rustling in the bushes.
At quick glance I saw a curlew standing there making this vvvvvvvv sound at me.
We put our bags into the room and I grabbed my camera. Now Bush Stone curlews are pretty common in Queensland.
They are a ground dwelling bird which hunt at night. During the day you normally find them chilling out under bushes like this one.
On a closer look I realised it was two parents and their baby.
How cute is this little GUY!
Bush Stone curlews have huge yellow eyes.
At night they make a very distinctive blood curdling scream. Haha I'm not kidding its super creepy.
But like I said you will find these guys every where around here including the pub.
