The Redshank - showing what looks like either early courtship or aggressive behaviour were seen today along the Leri saltings at Ynyslas. There were several occurrences of the 'fights' amongst the dozen or so birds that were there. Perhaps it is the first signs of spring courtship! Alternatively it could be territorial claims - although the numbers were low suggesting there should be little competition for space. Of interest the subservient bird appears to be ringed.
Other birds present included the usual Curlew, Gulls, Oyster Catchers, Wigeon, Ringed Plover, Dunlin and 5 Sanderlings.
