Flying a steeper than usual glide path to a runway with displaced threshold. During transition to visual I inadvertently descended below the glide slope to achieve a normal sight picture. Received a Ground Proximity Warning and Glide Slope. Too much focus outside the aircraft. We were over the touchdown zone and a normal landing was completed. Attention inside and outside the airplane during transition to landing flare.
We were in the flare over the runway and received the 'Glideslope' EGPWS advisory immediately prior to touchdown. Aural Glideslope advisory while we were in the landing hover/flare. The First Officer hand flew the Visual Approach and maintained the Glideslope until we were approaching the threshold and he shifted his attention to the external environment. The Glideslope and PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) for this runway may have been the cause when he transitioned to flying by outside reference and attempting to achieve a sight picture closer to our typical 3.00 degree glide path. We were over the touchdown zone and completed a very normal and uneventful landing.
Flight crew reported the First Officer hand flying a steeper than usual Visual Approach with a terrain warning in the flare.
