Not something you see in the West everyday. From what I've read it's not something you'd be seeing in the East too often either.
Composite..saves all that uploading.

Thanks Mick, was quite a surprise to see one, just glad I was prepared.

I've only seen the stone curlew where we live. Excellent shots and a well done composite.

Thank you for your feedback PP. It is interesting that such seemingly different birds are both a kind of curlew.
