This bird seems to be quite timid. The picture on the right was taken on a misty morning at Lymington, and will enlarge.

The shot below, taken at Stanpit Marsh, gives a good impression of the size of the Redshank in comparison with the Oystercatcher on the right.

Photograph above - March 2003.

On a later visit to Keyhaven we came across the bird below. As well as being less timid, it was sporting a full Winter coat.

These pictures will enlarge, too.

Photographs - December 2003.
