Inner Marsh Farm RSPB
Another yellow legged wading beauty in the shape of a lesser yellowlegs Tringa flavipes was the main attraction today. A very fine bill and long yellow legs made this a rather delicate looking American wader. A greenshank and 3 ruff kept it company on the pool in front of the hide. It was initially on no1 pool showing about half a mile away. A hobby gave good views over the pools also.
