Bush Stone-curlew

This one's home is in the middle of the city in a small park linking
one of the busiest streets and Central Station.

We had " The Storm of the Decade " late yesterday & I lost internet connections.
No damage here, but much in many places. Two young men taking photos in a storm drain were hit by a sudden wall of water...one of them lost his life. 3000 lightning strikes over the city & 120,000 homes without power and lots of damage !!

Ohhh so bad... even the reckless photographers should stay at home sometimes... Great capture of this little birdie, and hope he stayed alive.
