SPOTTED THICK-KNEES calling at dusk (old name was Spotted Dikkop)

Listen to a flock of Spotted Thick-knees calling their whistled calls at dusk when it was getting dark.

I love their calls at dusk when it is getting dark.

[@daleenalberts5829]

They are very protective of the nests and young. Very threatening attitude 🌻🌾

[@lynetterudman]

Yes, they open their wings and make a hissing sound like a snake.

They also become quite tame if unthreatened.

Sounds like the south African bush 🇿🇦

[@lynetterudman]

Yes, they are nocturnal, so only really heard at night.
