Indian Stone-curlew

The Indian stone-curlew is a cryptically patterned ground bird with enormous yellow eyes, long yellow legs and bold pale-and-dark stripes across the folded wing. It occupies dry scrub, grassland and farmland in South Asia and western mainland Southeast Asia. Mostly active at dusk and night, it runs across open ground taking insects and small vertebrates and nests in an unlined scrape (Wikipedia, general species account). It is Nationally Least Concern (Thailand Red Data 2025).
