| Tringa nebularia - Common Greenshank |
| A
Northern Hemisphere migrant, it breeds in the Palaearctic regions from
the Kamchatka Peninsula in Siberia west to Scandinavia and North Scotland.
It arrives in Australia during spring and remains through summer before
flying north in autumn. Some first-year, non-breeding birds over-winter
in Australia. It feeds on invertebrates that it takes from the water surface
or shallows, particularly in tidal mudflats and shores. |
