Observation details
After getting a glance of the bird in the morning, on my way back from Olassery decided to try my luck at spotting the thick knee by stopping on the bridge. Was surprised to see a Western reef heron sitting on the river bank. As I took out the camera noticed some movement on the nearby rocks hardly 150 metres from where I was standing on the bridge. There it was.. The Great thick knee. Providing a lavish sighting. Preening, occassionally scanning for danger. Unperturbed by vehicle traffic on the bridge. There was little human disturbance inside the river as the sun was up and shining bright and the weather turned really hot.
