Common
Redshank are regular in small numbers during the first half of May. The
species is more numerous during the autumn m,igration which seems to
start in the second half of June, although the majority are seen during
August and Septmember. Occasional birds in October and November may be
Icelandic.
The occurrence pattern of this species at Utsira is very
similar both in timing and numbers. The species is absent from
Stag Rocks between the start of the sprng and autumn migrations at
Skogsøy.
The blue line shows number of visits, the orange one the number of
visits when Redshank have been recorded and the green one
(numbers on right hand axis) shows the average
numbers I have recorded in any three day period.
