It looks like common greenshank but white in color. Please help to identify.
Found at Long Valley. Author: tmichael Time: 12/12/2006 23:40
No, not a Greenshank. As the name suggests, Common Greenshank has green not yellow/orange legs. It looks like the same Wood Sand that was posted a few weeks ago.
Interesting bird to track, if it continues to winter in HK.

It may well be a common redshank too~ Author: ajohn Time: 17/08/2007 09:54

There was a debate about the ID of this bird last year, and in the end it turned out to be a Wood Sandpiper. It remained at Long Valley for several weeks.
It will be interesting to see if the same bird returns this year
