Little baby curlew
Curlew in the tree - ganggang
Weird dancing water dragon
Curlew guarding the pathway
Murro nguraga- long nose ibis
looking for food
Ants in the sandpits
How small, how strong
How much they can carry
Curlew walk
So strangely
Water dragon walking
In the sun
Baking
Mouth open
Plover plovering
Near gangang
Near the climbing equipment
Cheeky kids
Chasing
Wind whispering In the palms
Swaying swaying
People surrounded
In the meeting place
Collecting pipis
Having a fire
A poor ant
Stepped on an squished
Tails in the air
Bullar lizards running
Climbing a big tree
Who is the fastest?
Up the top of the tree
Two birds birds nesting
