A portrait shot taken of a Stone Bush Curlew on Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Curlews are endangered in areas of human habitation on the Australian mainland but Kangaroo Island still has a sizeable population of these curious birds. They are mostly ground-dwelling and prefer open scrub and grassland to forage. Canon 7DII, EF 300 IS II + 2XTCIII, 1/2500, f6.3, ISO 800. handheld. Cropped and PP in CS6. Comments welcome.
