Spotted Thick-knee (Burhinus capensis) Never saw this bird before visiting the BestZOO, the Netherlands. It is a typical ground bird, hunting and nesting on the ground exclusively. The most characteristic feature to me are its large pupils, don't you think so?

      Thanks. It was my 35-105mm kit lens. The bird was very close to the fence. Posted 13 years ago
