Amid perfect camouflage of stones and soil, cute young Stone Curlew chicks hide on ground in Delhi

In Delhi's Wilderness Orchard, a family of Eurasian Stone Curlews nest on the ground. The mother sits on the eggs while the chicks hide among stones and soil, camouflaged from predators. The birds are shy and nocturnal, resting during the day and becoming active at night. The footage captures the chicks’ tiny wings as they stretch and practice flying, and the mother’s protective presence as they survive the first few days.
