July “Spotted Redshank”
Spotted Redshank is a species of shorebird belonging to the family Scolopacidae. It is a slender, long-legged wading bird, slightly larger than the common redshank. The size of a pigeon, it nevertheless has a more slender and slender look, characterizing the waders, with a long thin and straight beak, marked by a red lower mandible. The plumage is completely different between the winter and the breeding season, which has consequently earned it its name of harlequin. In winter plumage, the Harlequin Sandpiper is entirely pale grey, with a white supercilium descending behind the eye. The legs are red. In breeding plumage, it is entirely black pigmented with white spots. The legs turn black.
