Possible Yellowlegs 疑是黃腳鷸

I photographed what I thought was a Greenshank today at Mai Po but the legs look too yellow. Could it be a Yellowlegs? Neil.

Hi Neil

Interesting!
Please could you post any other pix you have of this bird either in flight or on the deck.

Cheers

HI Neil

The white blaze up the back confirms as Greenshank - only the rump is white on Greater Yellowlegs

Still happy to know you're out there looking for one!!

Cheers
Mike
