+The stone-curlews, also known as dikkops or thick-knees,
Taken at Paignton Zoo, Devon.
Hopefully I have the right Species
consist of 10 species within the family Burhinidae, and are found throughout the tropical and temperate parts of the world, with two or more species occurring in some areas of Africa, Asia, and Australia. Despite the group being classified as waders, most species have a preference for arid or semiarid habitats.

Something a little different today. I always miss seeing the vast fields of late spring / early summer wildflowers from the more northern regions, however, our 'fire wheels' have their own special beauty ...
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone :)
Summer days - and I hope everyone is doing fine!
(No new offerings at this point, but I have found quite a few files that for one reason or another I never managed to upload)
A Red-kneed Dotterel hunting for food in a swamp. Taken in Robe, South Australia on our Robe road trip last year.
The Red-kneed Dotterel is a small, plump wader (18cm ) with relatively long legs.
It has a black cap covering the eye that reaches from the upper bill to the lower hindneck.
A black breast-band stand out against the entirely white chin and throat band.
The breast-band grades into chestnut brown flanks.
The upperparts are greenish brown and the underparts are white from the belly to the undertail.
The bill is red with a blackish tip and the legs from the knees up are red, giving the species its common name.
Young birds are similar to adults but the hood and breast band are brown.
In all birds there is a sharp edge between the dark hood and white throat.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated..
Peaceful Sunday
Lemek Conservancy, Kenya
Thick-knees ( Burhinidae ) are also called Stone Curlews or Dikkops and are large waders/shorebirds ( the order Charadriiformes ).
They all have large eyes and long thickly jointed legs.
The Spotted Thick-knee is often active at night when its loud call can be heard from a distance.
This one was foraging during the day near soem bushes where it could find cover.

The bridge will get you from point A to point B by going over the obstacle. If you find yourself knee deep then you missed the turn. You can see the alterations I have done going to an abstract but the part you do not see is there was a huge stick that poked up in the middle of the shot and ruined the bridge, in abstract it was quiet easy to erase the stick and bridge the gap in the bridge, hope you enjoy the spring crossover!
Senegal Thick-knee - Queen Elizabeth National Park, Western, Uganda
Bird Species # (651) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.
On this trip to Uganda we used Ngoni Safaris Uganda. They provided excellent service. I highly recommend them.

This cow elk was trying to eke out a living in the deep snow of the Grand Canyon highlands. It always amazes me they can thrive in such deep snow, with so little to eat. Here's hoping spring will soon come!
Kneeling on the stony beach at Elgol, Isle of Skye, for a long exposure - with my hands firmly on the tripod as the incoming tide washed around my legs.
Australian Pied Oystercatcher (Haematopus longirostris)
Seen at Altona North beach couple of years ago.
Despite using my 600mm lens, this bovine was on to me quite quickly despite all the lush green grass it had to dine on! Should wash your knees before dinner though!

Got right in amongst the wves for this one to time a wave coming in along with it receding at the same time, caught just about right
Though our day in the Lakes was a largely fine one, the previous few days had been very wet. As a result our walk-in along the River Glenderamackin before heading up to Bannerdale Crags & then Bowscale Fell was more suited to waders than to walking boots,
The path in the top right is our (dry) return path which drops down from the Bannerdale Crags/Bowscale Fell 'plateau' skirting The Tongue (seen in the previous upload flic.kr/p/2qxXPZY).
My last mountain walk on my original left knee. I had a total knee replacement on Tuesday, so no mountain (or even dog) walking for a while!
A Cape thick-knee (Burhinus capensis) in an aviary at the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, Arizona. This species is predominantly terrestrial and native to Africa.
