The Common Redshank Tringa totanus, often called ‘the sentinel of the marsh’ when its plaintive fluting call teu-teu-teu, is often heard long before being seen. During spring, they move away from the coast to breed in wet grasslands and low-lying river margins. Distinguished by their prominent red legs, redshanks are fairly numerous in winter on the northern estuaries and firths of Scotland.
