Spotted Thick-knee - Burhinus capensis
Oedicnème tachard
Comment : Used to be called Dikkop, also known in other parts of the world as curlew, the name, not the specific bird. These were taken in captivity in Krugersdorp Nature Reserve, but they are found all over SA, even down the street from me there is a pair. Appelés aussi Dikkop en Afrique du Sud et Curlew ailleurs. Pris en captivité au Krugersdorp Nature Reserve, mais communs dans toute l'Afrique du Sud. Un couple réside près de chez moi.
