Field Notes

Description:

Quite a tall bird, about 40cm high, long yellow legs, yellow and black beak. Plumage all over is white and brown with flecks and spots. Head is quite brownish and more solid colour.

Habitat:

Open grassland

Notes:

I am really sure this is a Eurasian thick knee, but the colouring in all the id photos I have seen is a little different, maybe this is a juvenille? or something different ?
