Mom, Pop & Egg make 3
Uploaded: August 16, 2013 18:57:28
The Curlew's at my golf club have decided to lay her eggs in the most incongruous place ..... between the 14th & 17th Greens .... any balls overshooting the greens go perilously close to them but being a good mom she just sits there and protects her eggs :). I had to lay with them for about 20 minutes before she stopped hissing at me and realised I wasn't going to harm her ...
