The Indian Stone Curlew is a medium-sized bird with large yellow eyes and long legs. It leads a nocturnal lifestyle and camouflages well on dry ground among stones and grass.
The Indian Stone Curlew differs from related species in voice and coloration. It is beneficial by eating many harmful insects and helping maintain balance in the nature of dry plains.
