Burhinus vermiculatus (nominate subspecies) Afrikaans: Waterdikkop naby Mweya-kampeerterrein nr. 1 aan die oewer van die Kazinga-kanaal in Koningin Elizabeth- Nasionale Park, Westelike Streek, Uganda
Die Waterdikkop is 'n plevieragtige voël met 'n lengte van sowat 40 cm en 'n vlerkspan van by die 200 cm wanneer dit volgroeid is. Dit word in die natter tropiese en suidelike dele van Afrika aangetref. Hulle word gewoonlik langs riviere of by damme, mere, moerasse of op strande aangetref, waar hulle op termiete, goggas, weekdiere, klein vissies en skaaldiere voed. Hulle is hoofsaaklik nag- of skemeraktief, maar kan in volle daglig nogal vokaal wees, en roep met 'n treurige "tie-tie-tie". Alhoewel hulle sterk kan vlieg, lyk dit of hulle eerder verkies om weg te draf wanneer hulle versteur word. Die wetenskaplike naam vir die Waterdikkop is Burhinus vermiculatus; "Burhinus" uit die Grieks wat 'n groot neus beteken en "vermiculatus" van die Latyn vir gevermikuleer (wat in eenvoudige taal "versier met wurmagtige haarlyne of merke" beteken). Aldus 'n voël met 'n groot snawel en wat met opeenvolgende wurmagtige haarlyne of swiepmerke versier is. Inligting uit The Wilkinson's World of Adventure-webwerf. English: Water thick-knee near Mweya Campsite No 1 on the bank of the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Western Region, Uganda The Water thick-knee is a plover-like bird with a length of about 40 cm and a wingspan of about 200 cm when fully grown. It is found in the wetter eastern parts of Southern Africa. They are generally found along rivers or at dams, lakes, swamps or on beaches, where they feed on termites, insects, molluscs, small fish, and crustaceans. They are mainly nocturnal or crepuscular but may be quite vocal in full daylight, calling with a mournful “ti-ti-ti”. Although they can fly strongly, they seem to prefer to run than to fly when disturbed. The scientific name for the Water thick-knee is Burhinus vermiculatus; “Burhinus” from the Greek meaning a huge nose and “vermiculatus” from the Latin for vermiculated (which, in simple English means “decorated with wormlike tracery or markings”). According to its name, then, a bird with a large beak and which is decorated with wormlike tracery or markings. Info from The Wilkinson's World of Adventure website. |
