(tringa nebularia)
The (Common) Greenshank is fairly regularly found in Scotland with a breeding population of about 1000 pairs. They breed in stoney spots amongst extensive areas of blanket peat bog such as the Flow Country of Caithness and Sutherland. It is a fairly common autumn passage migrant in the south of Scotland. It winters in Africa - I have some Greenshank images in my Ethiopia and Ghana galleries. Sometimes a small number of birds will remain over winter in a coastal or estuary location. Within the Clyde area there quite regularly a few birds on the River Clyde between West Ferry and Port Glasgow.
