EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of Esacus recurvirostris, also known as Great Stone Curlews, and their intricately patterned eggs against a pristine white background. The Great Stone Curlew is a large wading bird belonging to the Charadriiformes order, specifically the family Scolopacidae, and is distinguished by its long, downward-curved beak and cryptic, earthy plumage. The Esacus recurvirostris is native to Australia, New Guinea, and the Pacific Islands, and is well-adapted to its terrestrial habitat, often blending seamlessly into the ground as it waits patiently for prey. These birds are known for their unusual breeding habits, laying their oval-shaped, cream and brown speckled eggs directly on the ground, with no nest to speak of. This photo offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the reproductive cycle of these fascinating birds. The eggs, which are approximately 50mm long and 38mm wide, are a marvel of nature in their own right, displaying a complex pattern of cream and brown markings that provide excellent camouflage against the sandy or gravelly ground. The eggs are also unique in their smooth, hard shell, which helps protect them from predation. This studio shot, taken with meticulous care, highlights the beauty and intricacy of the Great Stone Curlew and its eggs, offering a glimpse into the natural world that is often hidden from view. The Sauropsida class, to which birds belong, is characterized by the presence of a backbone and the amniotic egg, and the Great Stone Curlew is a testament to the diversity and wonder of this ancient lineage.
