April 21 is World Curlew Day.
This photo is from a few years ago when I found a small group of overwintering Far Eastern Curlews at Port Clinton, Yorke Peninsula.
Three types of ‘true’ curlews can be seen in Australia: the Little Curlew, Whimbrel and Far Eastern Curlew.
Gorgeous birds!

Artwork of a hawk's faint silhouette with wings spread out flying at a group of 8 dark sparrows which are scattering in panic. The image was created using a macro photograph of paintwork cracks found on an old wall.
