I think you can see the evolutionary connection when looking at certain bird species more than others. For me, Stone-curlew fit into the 'more' category :)

A great day out in Wiltshire with two friends: 6 Stone-curlew, 27 Great Bustard, Corn Bunting, a male Hen Harrier, European Hare, Wheatear (at least 4), Red Kite, Buzzard and some good banter. Driving home was a bit of an adventure with the high winds and rain but with that list of birds, who cares?

The stone curlew is such an elegant and striking bird. Remarkable camouflage. always feel like I am in the presence of greatness when I see them. They seem to manage remarkably well in urban areas. If you haven’t heard their call check out the link I will include below. Quite eerie. #urbanwildlife #birds #bushcurlew #stonecurlew

To help with the challenge in the previous picture, here's a picture of a stone curlew making a newbie mistake. It has cleverly blended in with the grey-brown pattern of the aggregate footpath, but then foolishly stood in front of a brightly coloured advertisement for beer... Possibly it's stoned.

Stone curlew, with roses
New Farm Park
(I cheated a little, and removed the curlew's very obvious shadow. Just pretend it's an overcast day and play Spot The Curlew...)
