Mystery Bird

Hello All,

I work in Milton in Brisbane. For a few weeks this bird has hung around outside our office. It just stares into the office for hours usually and it doesnt appear to be too worried about humans...

Thanks! I was worried about it being around the office but I rang a friend and it turns out that they will live practically anywhere around Brisbane.

It also explains the strange call I hear at night when I work back! It is a very cool bird.

I was about to say the same as Windhover.
I have seen a family of them wandering around the back of the Gabba near East Bris State School before - rather noisy fellows too.

Cheers
