    I am pretty sure it's a Green Sandpiper.
    A genuine thank you to all who take the time to post comps here.

    I'd say Greenshank, mainly because of the shoulder colouration.

    I'm almost certain it's a Greenshank. The white from the breast of the Green Sandpiper does not extend that far around the 'shoulder' area. It also looks too big for a sandpiper and the legs do appear to have a greenish colouring (I have the magazine so have a bigger picture to go from).
