    The similar Lesser Yellowlegs differs in its shorter, straighter bill, steeper forehead, blocky shaped nape, and subtly fuller chest. Quite unexpectedly, genetics found that the two species of yellowlegs, despite their almost identical appearance are not each others closest relatives. Instead...

    Colourful legs

    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.
