'...a young bird (traces of black on bill) and has become something of an urban egret, taking up residence on the edge of Cambourne, and even perching on fencing around the construction area. It's only the 2nd we've had here - the 1st was just a flyover..' JH

'Redshank & Greenshank are named after the colour of their legs. This odd Greenshank I had at Grafham last week clearly hasn't read the books.' JH
