Calling Redshank , Tiree

Tiree
Redshank (Tringa totanus) defending its territory, taken by Rebecca Dickson. When birds are on territory they will call when alerted by predators or due to disturbance. It is important to note that when birds (particularly sensitive species such as waders) are repeatedly calling loudly due to your presence, it is best practice to back off as they will be protecting their nest or chicks. It is critical to avoid disturbance of breeding birds, and know when to back off after a warning call. This photo was taken with a long lens from a vehicle.
