Eurasian thick-knee / stone-curlew (European thick-knee / stone-curlew) : Cotswold WP : 14 Jun 2019

European thick-knee / stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus oedicnemus). Aviary in Walled Garden.
I often wonder if this bird( or are there a pair?) was a 'rescue' from the wild, as Oxfordshire is close to the southern population and a few are present in Berkshire too. I know they've had at least one previously that was a rescued bird as there was a sign about it.
