Spotted Redshank, Leighton Moss

Lancashire
Spotted Redshank (Tringa erythropus) record shot, taken by David Palmar at Leighton Moss. In comparison to the Common Redshank (Tringa totanus), the Spotted Redshank has a more elongated bill and longer legs. In adult Spotted Redshanks, only the lower mandible is red; however juveniles can lack the red colour completely which makes them tricky to identify without good visibility. Spotted Redshanks also have a more prominent eye stripe (supercilium) than Common Redshanks.
