Here is another extraordinary and Endangered (VIC, NSW) Australian bird - the Bush Stone-curlew! Did you know that curlews are actually nocturnal? They spend their time at night hunting and foraging anything from insects, molluscs, small lizards, seeds and even occasionally small mammals! If you live in an area where these curlews call home, you might hear their very unique, and slightly terrifying contact call. They exhibit an eerie, high pitched wailing at night with many other curlews joining
