Agree with MarkH - this is a 'bug' (i.e. is in the Order Hemiptera), and I would think therein it is in the family Scutelleridae, subfamily Scutellerinae ('jewel bugs'). Best I can suggest as it could be in one of several similar-looking genera in that subfamily. Cheers, Allen M. Sundholm

Hi Trev, great record. I can see a white leg flag on the right leg in this image but can't read it at the image resolution. Any chance you have a higher quality version where it is readable? Thanks.

Fantastic breeding record, thanks David! Agree, the adults would have been born in the reserve so the chicks are 3+ generation Mulligans-born.

Thanks so much for reporting this significant sighting. This is the first report of a bush stone-curlew southside since one was recorded in Red Hill in 2022. It is likely other curlews have been in the area since then, but either not detected or simply not reported.
