    Common Redshank: 2 Subspecies

    Uploaded by

    jansen
    The common redshank is a Eurasian wading bird that breeds across temperate regions. It has red legs and a black-tipped red bill, and shows white in flight. It migrates to coastal areas for winter, such as around the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts of Europe. There are several subspecies that differ in appearance and range. It is a widespread and adaptable species, nesting in wetland habitats, but can be wary and noisy. While not threatened, it is protected under international agreements due to its migratory range.

    Common redshank

    For the plant called redshank, see Persicaria maculosa. the Arctic, has a longer bill and legs; it is almost entirely
    black in breeding plumage and very pale in winter. It is
    not a particularly close relative of the common redshank,
    The common redshank or simply redshank (Tringa
    totanus) is a Eurasian wader in the large family but rather belongs to a high-latitude lineage of largish
    shanks. T. totanus on the other hand is closely related
    Scolopacidae.
    to the marsh sandpiper (T. stagnatilis), and closer still to
    the small wood sandpiper (T. glareola). The ancestors
    of the latter and the common redshank seem to have diverged around the Miocene-Pliocene boundary, about 56 million years ago. These three subarctic- to temperateregion species form a group of smallish shanks with have
    red or yellowish legs, and in breeding plumage are generally a subdued light brown above with some darker mottling, and have somewhat diuse small brownish spots on
    the breast and neck.[2]

    2 Subspecies
    Several subspecies have been identied. These include:
    Winter plumage, at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (Singapore)

    T. t. robusta: identied by Schiler,[3] 1919 found


    in Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
    T. t. ussuriensis: identied by Buturlin[4] 1934 found
    in southern Siberia, Mongolia and east Asia

    Description and systematics

    T. t. terrignotae: identied by Meinertzhagen,


    R & Meinertzhagen, A, 1926 found in southern
    Manchuria and eastern China
    T. t. craggi: identied by Hale, 1971 found in north
    west China
    T. t. eurhina: identied by Oberholser,[5] 1900
    found in Tajikistan, north India and Tibet[6][7]

    3 Ecology
    The common redshank is a widespread breeding bird
    across temperate Eurasia. It is a migratory species, wintering on coasts around the Mediterranean, on the Atlantic coast of Europe from Great Britain southwards,
    and in South Asia. They are uncommon vagrants outside these areas; on Palau in Micronesia for example, the
    species was recorded in the mid-1970s and in 2000.[8]

    Common redshanks in breeding plumage are a marbled

    they become somewhat lighter-toned and less patterned,

    The common redshank is one of the species to which the
    Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
    It is widely distributed and quite plentiful in some regions, and thus not considered a threatened species by the
    IUCN.[9]
