Re: Wader IDs

Grey-green legs are the normal description, in good guides!
Collins Bird Guide is good if you are thinking of a new one, you can never have enough if learning, but there can be some discrepancies too.............
Sunlight will also highlight many plumage and bill and leg details, and shade will make them darker, so just beware of lighting effects too!
Never easy.
Good pics though!
Cheers
Ken
