Common Redshanks

27th November 2011, Pantai Remis, Selangor

These pictures were taken on two separate ocassions. Pictures #1-4 were taken  late afternoon when the tide was coming in . The mudflat they were on disappeared beneath the water about 20 minutes later after these  pictures were taken and the birds flew to a nearby commercial fish pond to roost.

Most of the birds look like juveniles judging by the yellow stockings they’re wearing

The photos below were taken in the  morning , sun shining brightly. The birds were feeding at quite a distance from the  beach.
