[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Smaller and more compact than the Spotted Thick-knee, the Water-thick knee has a generally paler appearance.
It differs further by having its grey wing panel bordered by white bars.
The upperparts are strekead, not mottled and spotted.
The water thick-knee hunches up and rests during the day in shade and cover or among rocks, usually close to water.
