Maybe everyone has encounters with bush stone-curlews, but it was my first one, as far as I'm aware. It was in the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens, and I nearly missed them, so good is their camouflage.
They're also known as the Bush Thick-knee (Burhinus grallarius), and apparently relatively little is known about their habits, except that they're mostly nocturnal. These ones weren't.
