Confused
Not only are Beach Thick-knees called stone-curlews sometimes, they also moved to another Genus meaning they are known by another scientific name by some LOL But these were our main target for them, as they're not seen everywhere.- delia todd

Two names this guy has, but both agree that he's a Beach LOL. Some call him a Thick-knee and others a Stone-Curlew. And not only that, he's now on his third scientific name! Confused? I don't think he cares. And I don't - just glad to find a bird I'd really wanted to see. But what a lovely...- delia todd

Another shot of the Beach Stone-curlew this time travelling across Basalt Rocks , a left over from the eruption of Mt Warning 23 million years ago. Just stood still watching me as I took the shots.- Ken Doy

Beach Stone-Curlew
Not a brilliant photo - the bird was backlit and a long way away, but it was the only shot I could get; the bird is endangered, so I thought it was worth including. I'm running out of new species to post from the trip, so just one today.- peterday

Beach Stone-curlew
I spotted this bird on the beach about 40 m from me, stopped and began the step by step inch by inch stalking procedure, only to find the bird was interested in something near by and walked 20m towards me then turned and did this little soft shoe shuffle in the sand before walking off again...- tcollins
