This Lesser Yellow-Legs turned up this afternoon at the Porth-Loo duck pond the 2nd one this Autumn and having a deserved rest after its transatlantic flight.
The lesser yellowlegs is a medium-sized shorebird similar in appearance to the larger greater yellowlegs. It is not closely related to this bird, however, but instead to the much larger and quite dissimilar willet, merely the fine, clear and dense pattern of the neck shown in breeding plumage indicates these species actual relationships. Thanks for sharing it.....
Another great capture,stunner.
