/


Water thick-knees are mainly active at night and are often seen just standing or sitting during the day. The white wing bar distinguishes this species from the Senegal thick-knee. Slideshow images 3 - 5 show juvenile water thick-knees, as do several of the enlargements, and image 8 is of an immature. Slideshow image 12 shows a water thick-knee and a painted snipe.
