🌎 Lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) The lesser yellowlegs is a slender, medium-sized shorebird characterised by its striking bright yellow legs and a thin, straight, dark bill. In breeding plumage, it's grayish-brown with fine streaking on the head and neck, and white spots on the back. Non-breeding birds are a more subdued gray-brown. They breed across the boreal forests of Alaska and Canada. During migration, they move south, wintering along the coasts of the southern United States, the Caribbean, and throughout South America. They are also a regular vagrant to Western Europe. Lesser Yellowlegs typically forage in shallow water, picking at items on or just below the surface, sometimes sweeping their bill through the water. They are often found in loose flocks and are known for their distinctive two-note "tu-tu" call. 2.5 Flash (Edited) No subspecies are recognised.

Lesser yellow-legs was a welcomed transatlantic tick on Bryher yesterday. But two lesserlegs today on Tresco felt a bit greedy. Only slightly eased by 4 yellow legs turning into 3 when one became one-legged. #ukbirding #migrantbirds

A lesser yellowlegs standing in shallow water. The bird is facing left. The shoreline is to the right and left of it in the photo and shallow water is behind. The tall bird's yellow legs are visible down to the knee, which bends backward. The rest of the legs are in the water. Its chest and belly are white while its feathers are grey and mottled. It has a small black eye and a long black bill.
