This seems like a very surprising location to find a bush stone curlew (Tuggeranong Valley - no other sightings on Canberra southside). Photos were via iPhone12 so not great quality and I only took a few as I was out cycling when we came across the bird. We were very surprised. Exact GPS details on orginal images. We didn't stand and watch the bird so no idea where it progressed to once we'd left. Bird could not be found when we returned 2-3 hours later. Update - 2100hrs - bird still in the area. Seen moving from garden bed to garden bed at about 2030hrs.
