Tattlers resemble a Common Redshank (T. totanus) in shape and size, but not in color.

The ancestors of the latter and the Common Redshank seem to have diverged around the Miocene-Pliocene boundary, about 5-6 million years ago.

It is not a particularly close relative of the Common Redshank, but rather belongs to a high-latitude lineage of largish shanks.

Common Redshank (Tringa totanus)

The call is a sharp quit, quit, softer than Great Spotted Woodpecker, and something like Common Redshank.

Inside the nature reserve, there are also birds like Northern Lapwing, Common Redshank, and Eurasian Oystercatcher.

Eurasian Oystercatcher have already bred and it is hoped that Northern Lapwing and Common Redshank will too.

Willow Island is much larger and more grassy, providing suitable areas for Lapwing, Common Redshank and Green Sandpiper.

The site qualifies under Criterion 3c of the Ramsar Convention by regularly supporting internationally important numbers of Common Redshank in winter.

Rather, its closest relative is the Common Redshank (T. totanus), and these two share a sister relationship with the Marsh Sandpiper (T. stagnatilis).

The Common Redshank or simply Redshank (Tringa totanus) is an Eurasian wader in the large family Scolopacidae.

In the Estuário do Sado are Dunlin, Eurasian Curlew, Grey Plover and Common Redshank.

Chilbolton Common supports important numbers of breeding Common Redshank, Northern Lapwings, Common Snipe and warblers.

The marshes are flooded in winter, providing over-wintering habitat for bird species such as teal, shoveler and gadwall and breeding grounds for lapwing and common redshank.

Other birds nesting in the wetlands include the Northern Lapwing, Common Redshank, and Sedge, Reed and Cetti's Warblers.

There are good numbers of breeding waders and recent RSPB work has increased the number of pairs of Northern Lapwing and Common Redshank.

Waders that breed regularly include Northern Lapwing, Common Redshank, Ringed Plover and Little Ringed Plover.

Birds such as Northern Lapwing, Eurasian Curlew, Common Redshank and Common Snipe are reported from the lowland wet grassland.

Common Redshank (Tringa totanus)

The Common Redshank or simply Redshank (Tringa totanus) is an Eurasian wader in the large family Scolopacidae.

The most important breeding birds are Mediterranean Gull (Larus melanocephalus), which is the only breeding site in Slovakia, and Common Redshank (Tringa totanus), for which it is the only breeding site in West Slovakia.

Especially in freezing weather, the disused cress-beds can yield waders: most often Snipe Gallinago gallinago, but also Redshank Tringa totanus and Green Sandpiper Tringa ochropus and, more rarely, Jack Snipe Lymnocryptes minimus and Dunlin Calidris alpina.
