This morning I wanted another check on the redshank on the Avon mud, so left the Downs at Ivywell Road, and found my way down to Roman Way and then the Portway. Coming back up Bridge Valley Road (which I managed without dismounting - phew), and through Redland, back home via the Breadstore.
Redshank. Yes these are certainly redshank, the long red legs, and the very distinctive white rear edges to the wings when it flies. I noticed a slight bobbing of the head again, and a rapid walk as the bird explored the mud. The red upper bill was probably there, but very difficult to see, and could well have been obscured by a layer of River Avon mud. Try BTOWeb for picture.
