Description  UK conservation status: Amber  

The spotted redshank is a medium sized elegant wading bird, slightly larger than a redshank. In summer plumage the adults are almost entirely black, save for some white 'spotting' on the wings, a white `wedge' on the back showing clearly in flight and a barred tail. In winter they have a grey back and paler under parts, with a more prominent eye stripe than a redshank and lacking a redshank's white wing bars.

I always like to look them up, especially if it is a species that is a first for me.
