BTO Bird ID - Common shanks

Redshank are common, familiar (and very noisy) waders found, year-round, on our coastal habitats as well as inland during the breeding season. Very small numbers of the related Greenshank breed, but can you separate Redshank, Greenshank and the arctic-breeding Spotted Redshank when all three can be found together in late summer and autumn on salt marshes and lagoons?

Great video. I l always think that black is longer word than bar and so is reflected in their reflective legs - helps me remember!
