Brabant Netherlands - Common Greenshank or ...??? (1 Viewer)

[Bertus]

Fen in protected area. In Holland so far I identified Spotted Redshank, Ruff and Green Sandpiper only. Long way to go... Looks like this is a different one. Could be Common Greenshank? In pic 1559 and 1560 the face looks greyish-blue, looks unnatural, artefact or something...? Tnx for help everyone

Hello Bertus,

Yes it's a Greenshank for me too. Please note long, slightly upturned bill with deep base an greenish legs
The just visible blueish tinge is often due to a long range shot caused by haze and sometimes camera settings?.
