We went on a late night picnic last night and these bush-stone-curlews were bugging us for our snacks. I wanted to capture their anxiety and heavily expressive eyes. I think the one in the middle looks more like a curlew than the other two but I would like it to have more fear-of-god in the eyes.
I want to build up to creating a sticker I can slap around Brisbane I think that'd be fun. And what better subject than everyone's favourite stilt chicken.

Bush Stone-Curlew Prophecy And Symbolism
The Following Channel is from higher powers, Divine, the ancestral plane, and is prophetic through Quornesha S. Lemon|
Whether the Bush Stone-Curlew appears in dreams, visions, waking life, or synchronicities, it is a sign and message that you will begin to see a shift in the manner in which you are treated. Your value isn’t a reflection of how others view you. Something/Someone special is entering your life at present. The two of you are opposites but similar in many ways. This predicts soul mate energy. Turn off the outside noise and tune into your intuition, what does it tell you? Remember that your own inner knowing trumps what is outside of you. Everything you receive outside of yourself should either be confirmation or an intervention. The Bush Stone Curlew prophecies of things getting back on track.
This message isn't, obviously resonant with all whose paths it crosses, as perhaps you may encounter someone of this vernacular, mastery, or skill. Therefore, it is a sign from the universe that you're meant to work with such a person. The Bush Stone_curlew bird is a reminder to stand above ego. The need to be right all of the time isn’t the battle you need to fight. It is ok to apologize and allow things to just be. Life will throw its’ own hurdles and you need your energy for such times instead of sweating the small stuff. You may enter into a friendship, partnership, marriage, or business. It is most likely a combination of it all.
The Bush Stone Curlew Is a reminder to get back to what your purpose is. Focus on your mission and do not deter from it. Others and their opinions will always exist. You do not have to prove yourself in this season. The ancestors are providing you answers through dreams and visions. Push through any confusing details and get going. A Time of transformation is now coming to an end. You are not alone. You do not have to contend with people about your faith. You alone know where your heart is.
Know that no one can hurt you in this season of your life. You and your family are protected. Pay attention to the omens, signs, and synchronicities. And know that anyone who claims they are of the divine is not judgmental, but they speak life, and they do so abundantly.
Need further clarity or your own queries answered? Book your own reading as my schedule is full and I do not guarantee a reply on social media regarding this post.
If this is not you, then it is time to get clear to rejoin your tribe or the rest of the world of infinite beings. It's time to bring your light to the forefront. However, if you aren't able to invoke, heal or otherwise on your own, call on the assistance of shamans, healers, intuitive people, etc. to assist you. This synchronicity can possibly have specific meanings for you, it's time to get insight.

hi bestie, did you ever end up posting that arcade wolfstar fic?
Hi pal, I literally read this and thought “they must’ve got the wrong person” because I had no idea what you were on about but no you’re absolutely right I DO have that sitting in my drafts 😭 I never got very far with it - it did not come together - and I just went back and read a bit of it and it’s Bad like just really bad writing so unfortunately it probably won’t ever see the light of day.
It could’ve been magical though. It had single mum Hope who was a nurse and all the boys at Remus’s school fancied her. RIP.
More and more I realise that I can only convincingly write stories that could either be tagged as “cottagecore” or “dark academia” and anything outside of those two classifications just sucks. Can’t do it! Sorry! x

These birds are loosely grouped by their associations with water, and because I didn't want the family BR to get too big. Keep your eyes peeled- there may be someone here who got a little lost, but we don't discriminate here!

Family of Bush Stone Curlews living at my house. They especially love hanging around the stairs so I have to walk in the garden to get around them.
