Waders - The Greenshank

First seen on Friday 13th August 2021 at Druridge Pools

The Greenshank is quite similar to the more common Redshank. It is larger (looking taller), has a longer bill, and most obviously has green/yellow legs rather than red. Unlike the Redshank, which is very common in Northumberland, the Greenshank is a rare visitor.
