Description

The Water Thick-knee, like the other Thick-knees, is mainly nocturnal. It is, however, more active during the day than the rest of its genus, when it can be found on river and lake edges. This is particularly true when the weather is dull and overcast.

Identification

Photographed in KZN South Africa. Also called a Water dikkop.
