This image of a Greenshank (or Chevalier Aboyeur in French!) observed in Ouessant, France, was sent in by Aurelien Audevard.
This image was sent to us by Arne Vanebo of the Greenshank colour-ringed YR OY in Vellemelen, Norway, where it is thought to breed. Sightings of this bird have also been reported from Brittany, France, where it spent last winter. Greenshanks are known in Norwegian as "Gluttsnipe".
This image was sent to us by Pablo Fernandez Garcia of the Greenshank OG YB in Rio Del Eo, Spain. It was shortly joined by WO YB. Both birds were colour-ringed on the Ythan Estuary, Scotland, in August 2005.
