Spotted
A vibrant medium-sized wader easily identified by its bright orange-red legs and the flash of white on its trailing wing edges in flight. It's a vocal bird, often the first to alarm other waders.
Where to spot
Breeds across temperate Eurasia, from Iceland and Europe to central Asia. Winters along coastal areas of Europe, Africa, and Asia, stretching to Australia.
How to spot
Look for its striking orange-red legs and bill base. In flight, its broad white trailing edge on the wings and white rump are very noticeable. Listen for its characteristic 'tew-tew-tew' alarm call.
When to spot
Breeding season is from April to July. Migration periods are typically March-May (northbound) and July-October (southbound). Can be observed year-round in some milder coastal wintering areas.

The Common Redshank is highly territorial during the breeding season and will loudly mob intruders, including humans and predators, with its distinctive 'tew-tew-tew' alarm call.
