Sorry Craig but it definitely isn't a Greenshank. Greenshanks are long legged, white fronted and have a slightly upturned beak. Still going with Wood Sandpiper.....which is a much cooler bird then a boring old greenshank lol.Craig52 wrote:You take the points Ian,it's a green shank
Agree with young Pictorella.
A world without birds is a world not worth living in :)

That's a fairly poor pic,but going by Readers Digest Complete Book of Australian Birds,it is a Green Shank to a tee.Pictorella wrote:Sorry Craig but it definitely isn't a Greenshank.
