Burhinus oedicnemus
It is a medium-sized wader with a strong yellow and black beak, large yellow eyes (which give it a "reptilian", or "goggle-eyed" appearance), and cryptic plumage. He stone curlew occurs throughout Europe, north Africa and southwestern Asia. It is a summer migrant in the more temperate European and Asian parts of its range, wintering in Africa.
They prefer dry open habitats with some bare ground.
Photographed in some Colombian zoo and I fell in love with his eyes.
