During the night the constant sound of a Curlew calling a young one was heard , a kind of gentle clucking , indicating the egg under the Lychee must have hatched; sure enough , the above latest arrival at Little Darwin was spotted in the morning . During yesterday , one of the nesting Curlews had been seen off the egg , as if talking to it, telling it to hurry up and hatch, below , because the weather is warming up and sitting in the sun on an egg , panting , leaves a lot to be desired .
Meanwhile , two eggs are being sat on by another Curlew couple who decided to inconveniently nest near our wheelie bins and have been harassed by Crows and Kookaburras .
