EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a cozy armchair when you have the comfiest nest in town? This Bush Thick-knee knows how to lounge in style, perched on its Melbourne abode. With a view of Victoria's picturesque landscape, this adult bird has found the perfect spot for some well-deserved relaxation. Known for their distinctive long legs and large eyes, this Australasian beauty takes nesting to a whole new level. The stone curlew nests may be hard to spot amidst the ground nature of Australia, but not for our feathered friend! It proudly guards its precious eggs with utmost dedication. As November brings warmer weather and blooming flowers, it seems like even birds appreciate some quality 'me' time. And who can blame them? After all, life is better when you can soak up the sun while enjoying the serenity of your own private sanctuary. FLPA photographer Malcolm Schuyl has truly captured this thick-knee's essence – peaceful yet vigilant. So next time you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed by city life, take a cue from our avian companion and find solace in nature's embrace. Just remember to bring your own nest!
