When you get to see these dainty chaps striding through the mud and shallows on a sunny day like today you can really appreciate the colour of their legs and their delicate plumage.
I have previously only seen them on foggy winters days on estuary mudflats so it was nice to get a good view. There were a few other very cool birds on display which I'll share in the near future.

Beautiful photos and a nice bit of history, too! There's a serenity to the first photo - the subtle colours of the Redshank's plumage contrasted with its bright legs, the quiet blues, greys and browns of the gently-rippling water: lovely image for a Sunday morning.
What a great post, information and beauty combined. Thanks
