	Redshank - LoveToKnow 1911
		REDSHANK, the usual name of a bird - the Scolopax calidris of Linnaeus and Totanus calidris of modern authors - so called in English from the colour of the bare part of its legs, which, being also long, are conspicuous as it flies or runs.
		In suitable localities it is abundant throughout the greater part of Europe and Asia, from Iceland to China, mostly retiring to the southward for the winter, though a considerable number remain during that season along the coasts and estuaries of some of the more northern countries.
		The body of the redshank is as big as a snipe's, but its longer neck, wings and legs make it appear a much larger bird.

		Redshank occurs in cereals and other arable crops but it is not associated with a particular crop and is regarded as a follower of man.
		Redshank was regarded as nutritious and has been fed to horses and cattle as green food.

		Two Redshanks were recorded on the first visit in mid-April, but none were found on subsequent visits; another observer strongly suspected breeding when he saw two agitated Redshanks, apparently with young nearby, on 10 June.
		In 1995 one pair each of Redshank and Curlew were found at Uckinghall Meadows, six Lapwing, two Redshank and one Curlew at Bow Farm, with two Lapwing and one Curlew at Mythe Pool.
		Most of the Redshanks and some Lapwings were in the fields and pools of the Hundred-Acre field behind the seawall, where water levels are manipulated to favour breeding waders.
