- Burhinus giganteus
Description
A large, rather ungainly bird with an outsized beak, it could be mistaken at first glance for a heron species. The only other thick-knee or stone-curlew to occur in Australia is the bush thick-knee which is more generally brownish, and is not confined to the coasts.
Identification
This large wading bird is endangered. It still occurs in coastal Australia.
