Wader, Poland (1 Viewer)

Im having some problems with identifying the wader on the very right of these photos, next to the Ruff and Redshank. Could it be a Greenshank? Found last week in Poland along with Wood Sandpipers.
Thanks in advance

Hello Max,

yes its a Greenshank for me too.
Regular a good feature of this species is the horizontal x-shaped dark bar on the back, visible in your bird.
Most similar Marsh Sandpiper is a smaller bird.
There is another sleeping Greenshank on the far left in your second picture.
