Why it matters
The spotted thick-knee is a fascinating ground-dwelling bird known for its distinct mottled plumage, which provides excellent camouflage against the arid landscapes it inhabits. Its broad wings and notched tail are well-adapted for the short, sudden bursts of flight it uses to evade predators across its range in sub-Saharan Africa.
