Slimbridge WWT bird identification please

[richardwebb]

Hi,

I spotted this juvenile at WWT Slimbridge and am having trouble identifying it. I believe it to be a juveile because of its feathers, and maybe a wader because of its long legs, but its beak is not very long! At this age its body is slightly smaller than a pigeon. It was standing in the tundra area, so is probably resident to the UK. Can anyone help??

wader at slimbridge

I answered it just as your previous thread was deleted and posted a new thread for you! (It's a leucistic Moorhen, a rather well known one at Slimbridge!) - An adult, not juvenile'
