Great Thick-knee: Chambal River, Chambal, Uttar Paradesh, India, March 2023 — My impressions of the Chambal River area are colored by a bad lodge experience, but we did see some interesting birds. This Great Thick-knee (formerly the Greater Stone-Curlew) was on a mudbank in the Chambal River and seen from out tour boat. It is a common bird throughout India and less common, or at least less widely distributed, down through South-east Asia, and around the mouth of the Persian Gulf. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
