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.
Agree with young Pictorella.

What bird Is this ?

I reckon a juvie picto, as well.
My friend forwarded me these this arvo, the nest is in a staghorn on her Mum's verandah near Albury:

Sorry, Henry, you beat me to it...

That's a fairly poor pic,but going by Readers Digest Complete Book of Australian Birds,it is a Green Shank to a tee.

Yes,young pictorella, Cheers Craig
