Drillsnäppa - Actitis hypoleucos - Common Sandpiper

NF Photo 120813, Ålsäter

This is a nice little bird that is not that shy. This one stayed for a while despite it knew I was there. I think it checked out the new pathway. I was pleasently surprised to find it, the pathway. Now it is possible to get a bit longer out to overlook the lake. There was not much birds in the lake but from the plank you could tell some geeze had been there.

Grönbena - Tringa glareola - Wood Sandpiper

NF Photo 120502 Bejershamn, Öland

Jag fick fråga expertisen om den här vadaren. Det är en grönbena: 
"Jepp!

Det är en grönbena, som redan har ruggat fram häckningsdräkten, vilken
skiljer sig från vinterdräkten, som de flesta grönbenor på vårflyttning
annars är i. Vissa individer får mer gult i sina gröngula ben under
häckningstiden.
Dessutom är just mjukdelarna mer färgvariabla än fjäderdräkten.
Helt klart en grönbena"

I was asking an expert from Ottenby what bird this was. Here is his answer:
" It is a Wood Sandpiper. It has already the breading plumage wichd is different from the winter plumage as msot wood sandpipers still have during migration. Soem individuals gets more yellow legs during breeding times. And the plumage is more colored.
