Redshanks

Redshanks in Summer

Redshank chicks have lovely surroundings for their school and playround.

Ragged-Robin and cotton-sedge grow together in moist places, and so, too, do marsh penny-wort, yellow-rattle, horse-tails, marsh buttercups and several kinds of orchis.

This is the nursery and hunting-ground for the young redshanks.
