A Greenshank?

    I think I already know the answer, but just to be sure to be sure, this isn't the Wilson's phalarope that's down at Kilcoole is it?

    Photo was taken on Sunday in Kilcoole, looking for the Wilsons, but I think the legs and beak make this a greenshank.
    If it was the Wilsons, the beak would be blacker and the legs a thicker yellow?

    Thanks.

    It's a greenshank. A wilson's phalarope will be much smaller,smaller than a redshank and not much bigger than a dunlin.

    Thanks Feargal - I didn't realise a WP would be that small!
    It was spotted everyday except the day I was down in Kilcoole - but it's still hanging around, so maybe I'll manage to see it this weekend.
