GOOD FENCES

This Bush Stone Curlew was behind a fence and I am linking it with Good Fences.  
This was photographed in Cairns, Australia.

  1. I dream about meeting this tab on my way. It doesn't build nests in Poland and is very rare.

  3. Nice intimate portrait of the stone curlew! I expected to see a long curved bill in a curlew. Now I must look up the etymology of its name.

  4. I learned that the name of curlew is derived from the sound of its call, not its curved bill: History and Etymology for curlew-- Middle English, from Anglo-French curleu, of imitative origin
