Common Greenshank (Tringa nebularia)

            Seen recently at WWT Slimbridge, this Common Greenshank still displays plenty of summer plumage.
In winter the overall impression is of a pale grey bird but an adult in summer has a  'Variable number of scapulars dark-centred, contrasting with brownish-grey upperparts; head, breast and flanks coarsely streaked and barred' (Collins Bird Guide 2nd edition).
Always a pleasure to encounter this beautiful wader.
