What are they? « Last Edit: Sep 29th, 2006, 10:00am by bfspoonbill » Logged miket BBS Member BBS God I'd rather be birding!     Posts: 257 Re: What kind(s) of shank are they? 是甚麼鷸呢？ « Reply #2 on: Sep 29th, 2006, 9:57pm » Quote Modify Pics 1 and 2 are Common Greenshank - 3 and 4 look like a Grey-tailed Tattler to me.   Mike Turnbull   Logged bfspoonbill BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 105 Re: What kind(s) of shank are they? 是甚麼鷸呢？ « Reply #3 on: Sep 29th, 2006, 11:36pm » Quote Modify More photos for the second one are attached here. Sorry, it's hard for me to match it to Grey-tailed Tattler in Birds of HK & S China book, because the colour looks grey in book. Can you suggest field marks?       Is this different?   « Last Edit: Sep 29th, 2006, 11:40pm by bfspoonbill » Logged Paul Leader BBS Member BBS Senior Member     Posts: 83 Re: What kind(s) of shank are they? 是甚麼鷸呢？ « Reply #4 on: Oct 3rd, 2006, 4:01pm » Quote Modify Sorry Mike but I think 3 and 4 are a Redshank!
