Bush Stone Curlew

by Zilyram Interested in this? Contact The Artist

The bush stone curlew has grey feathers with black and white streaks, tinted with varying shades of buff or brown. The birds plumage is a perfect camouflage against the bark, sticks and grass that are found throughout its habitat. It measures around 50 cm from beak to tail. The sexes are identical. To camouflage itself further, the curlew may lie flat on the ground with its long neck stretched out in front making it extremely hard to locate.
