Hi Martin,
Thanks for this, it seems to be a very late adult if still showing
indications of breeding plumage right at the end of October. I thought
they moulted into non-br dress right after arrival here. This bird
also indicates that the yellow legs, if present at the end of October,
will not change colour. Shailesh have you please got the reference
that Greenshank change leg colour to yellow when breeding. I wonder
how many other images of yellow legged Greenshanks are out there from
our region.
Best for now
Brian
