Default Spotted or not ?
Hey All !

I saw this amongst a few Redshank at Glasson today. It stood out because it was lighter in colour than the other Redshanks.

Question is, is it a Spotted Redshank ?

TIA

Thanx, Mike. I didn't think that it would be but it did stand out from the others.

It's a juvenile, with nice fresh neatly buff-spotted edges to the wing feathers so would have stood out among plainer greyer adults.

Thanx. I saw a pair of them at Leighton Moss on Wednesday but these where a lot closer. Nevermind.
