Detalles de la observación

Bird was on the Langebaan side of the hide reasonably far out. Scope views were decent, while photographs were challenging given distance and heat haze. Am attaching 6 distant record shots. One of the photographs shows the bird size and colouring relative to a nearby Common Greenshank. In terms of size and other general impressions the bird was reasonably similar to a Marsh Sandpiper. Leg colouring however was clearly and noticeably brighter yellow, even appearing borderline orange, when compared with Marsh Sandpipers in the area showing grey/green dull yellow legs. In terms of overall colouring the bird also presented as a less pale looking bird with more streaking around throat, this being quite different to the more pale and grey look of Marsh Sandpipers.
