Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta)
Graceful Prinia (Prinia gracilis)
An elegant, long-legged, black and white wader with a long, upcurved bill. Plumage mainly white, with black wing-tips, coverts, crown and hind-neck. Pretty unmistakable. Confusion with Crab Plover or Juvenile Shelduck possible at very long range. Flight pattern even and mostly without glides.
Sound:Not very vocal away from breeding ground. Most common contact call a soft, short "kluitt" reminiscent of Ringed Plover, but harder and less varied. Also sometimes followed by repeated chattering: "kluitt-trt-trt-trt-trt-trt-trt".
