Ruff or Redshank, Slimbridge, Gloucestershire 01/08/2014 (1 Viewer)

[Dale Harding]

This bird was in an enclosure with Avocets and was being reared for return to the wild and the enclosure was marked as Ruff and Avocet. They where young birds. A friend of mine thinks this is a Common Redshank as apposed to a Ruff.

It's a Redshank.

Please always give the date - thanks.
Bill too long, too straight and too red for ruff,
