Spotted Redshank?

[PeterB]

Another one from today. Again I was told it was one but could not see it for myself. The beak was almost totally black.

Another picture from a quarter of a mile away.

Looks good for a Spotted Redshank, but it's difficult to be certain how many of the 'features' are really there, and how many just seem to be there because the photo was taken from such a distance (eg. is the bill really as long and thin as it appears?).

Thanks Roy, I'm taking it as it was corroborated hide-side. Just wish I have been able to spot the features myself.
