Vik's Gallery:   Australian Pratincole (3/7)

CHARADRIIFORMES: Glareolidae

Stiltia isabella  

Another ten kilometers down the road and only five kilometers out of Windorah, I got pulled over at a random breath-testing checkpoint, probably not a common event near Windorah but it was the weekend of the Birdsville Races.

I was high with birds, not booze, but perhaps there should be a special test for us birdos who spend half our time peering into the bush at the side of the road instead of watching where we're going.

Or maybe we should have some sort of warning sign on the back - Prone to stop suddenly when bird sighted.
