"Discover the enigmatic Bush Stone-curlew (Burhinus grallarius) of Australia, a nocturnal wading bird with intriguing adaptations. This elusive species, found in open grassy woodlands across the Top End and northeast, is reasonably common in its preferred habitat. At night, they can be spotted at shallow fords, such as those along the Gibb River Road in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The skeleton of this bird, displayed in the Gould Collection, offers a glimpse into its unique anatomy, with long, powerful legs and a distinctive downward-curved beak. Darwin, Queensland, and other parts of northern Australia are also home to this fascinating creature, making it a must-see for birdwatchers and natural history enthusiasts." (150 characters)
