This is a hen Lyrebird and her nest with an egg.
I took these photos some years ago.
Notice the nest site at the base of a tree.
The bird turned up a few minutes after the first couple of pictures and tried to run me off with a bit of bustling about.
No wonder we hate foxes, cats and dogs in our forests, these birds are an easy meal although they can and do fly quite often.
