Comment | A large, thickset but elegant wader with a long, slightly upturned bill, the Common Greenshank is equally at home in coastal and inland wetlands. Often, the species is seen single or in pairs, but sometimes they can form large flocks. These birds are easily flushed when chanced upon feeding in low water, taking off with a ringing call low across the water surface in an erratic and rapid flight. Sexes are alike, but immature birds have a slightly darker neck and head, with darker streaking. The legs are long and pale olive-green, the feet the same colour. Breeding in Scotland and the northern steppe regions from Scandinavia and eastwards to the Siberian Taiga, they arrive in Australia during August/September in order to winter here, and by the end of March, they’re all gone. Australia has a very large wintering population of the species and while here, it is widely distributed avoiding only the central, arid parts of the nation. Collins Pool, Birchmont; GPS.
