Young bush stone curlew

At least I think that is what it is. I loved the big eyes and the patterns in the black and white. It is a range of browns and cream usually

[Jenny Ren]

Great shot!

A great B&W image, the beautiful plumage is really accentuated :)

[Wylie]

Tis for sure. Lovely detail on the feathers

[Debs Stott]

It looks very similar to what we used to call a Dikkop but now called a Thick Knee but please don't quote me on that at all!! The eyes are beautiful, love the position of the head too.

[Dione Giorgio]

Very nice. Love the monochrome.

[Lee-Ann]

So THAT'S what a curlew is! It's mentioned in one of the verses of "Home on the Range" and I'd never heard of it before, nor seen one till now! I love this image, especially the way the head is cocked. Fav.
