AUSTRALIAN PRATINCOLE Stiltia isabella

An elegant pratincole, long-legged and long-winged, found in many parts of Northern Australia. A common sight along some outback roads, where they tend to be more active and dawn and dusk, but also found near traditional wetlands such as Fogg Dam. Endemic to Australia, also in a genus of its own.
