Bush stone-curlew

The bush stone-curlew is a large, slim, nocturnal, ground-dwelling bird, unlike any other bird in Australia. The bush stone-curlew, or bush thick-knee, is mostly grey-brown above, streaked with black and rufous.

Phillip Island (Millowl) is part of the bush stone-curlew’s indigenous home range and there are areas on the island with broadly suitable and intact habitat for the species and the groundbreaking re-introduction program to thrive.
