Darwin Sailing Club Friday night...

Well it was Friday night, what better than to have a meal with my son at the DSC.
Sunset was glorious of course. Also I have now uploaded over 2000 photos to my digital album at Flickr.com

Bush Thick-knee/Bush Stone Curlews at ANU facillity

As I went to my car park tonight I saw this Curlew. I had my cameras with me and got a few shots.He started to hiss at me and it was then that I realised he was protecting his mate on the nest quite a distance away from where I saw him.
