Split from Eurasian Stone-Curlew a few years ago, it has taken me a while to add this
species, courtesy of a trip to Sti Lanka. There they are often seen in the open during daylight, although invariably not very active.
Smaller and darker but proportionally longer-legged, they are non-migratory although this is probably just because of their southerly
distribution.
