Great Thick-Knee
Great Thick-knee aka Great Stone Curlew. This large wader measures 50 cm (nearly 20 inches) in length and has a wingspan of nearly 1metre (39 inches). They’re mostly nocturnal, occasionally seen during early mornings or in the evening. They feed on crabs, large insects and small animals. Both sexes appear similar, but younger birds, like the one on the left, appear paler.
