Our resident backyard Curlews , acting strangely, immediately raised the suspicion that once more they had eggs. Sure enough , a familiar chirp was heard in the neighbour's backyard and there was a chick , obviously a few days old , with its parents . An order was issued for them to come home . A day later , the family of three was in our yard , expecting to be fed .
The young one was snapped appearing to do a dangerous chin up near a small Desert Rose. An earlier shot of the bird shows it stretched out , displaying its markings .
