Brolga family out for wander
Spy a birder over yonder
No worries, says the mister,
I'll soon see off this blister.
Up he comes with low hisses
But fearsomeness he misses.
Worry not, says birder man,
Now with pictures in the can
You can forget hokey heroic
And stalk back to mum and chick.
Townsville Common early today
