Colourful legs (Himantopus mexicanus, Tringa melanoleuca)

Up on that massive pipe I mentioned before (the one I advised you can ignore to pretend you're out in nature, but obviously I don't always do as I say - and anyway, I do want to show what the area is actually like) was a line-up of birds with variously coloured legs. Here are the most colourful ones - Black-necked Stilts and Greater Yellowlegs - but there were also some gulls and at leat one Double-crested Cormorant.
