Acrylic on canvas. Size: 278 x 355 x16 mm (11 x 14 x 1/2 inches).
During the breeding season (AU Spring & Summer) of the Bush Stone-Curlew birds, they do not go unnoticed when you hear their eerie, high-pitched wailing at night.

They are intriguing and unique ground-dwelling birds.
Quote from the link ref. "Breeding - Bush Stone-Curlews have a remarkable courtship dance. Individuals stand with their wings outstretched, their tail upright and their neck stretched slightly forward. The birds will stamp their feet up and down, like a soldier marking time. This courtship ritual is repeated for an hour or more at a time and is accompanied by loud and constant calling. Eggs are laid in a shallow scrape in the ground and both adults share the incubation and care for the young."
