Common Greenshank v Marsh Sandpiper ID guide

I have just added a new identification guide to my website http://www.photos-n-guides.com/

This guide is intended to help in separating Common Greenshank (Tringa nebularia) from Marsh Sandpiper (Tringa stagnatilis). The guide is in two parts, the guide itself and photo albums showing extra images of the two species.

To access the identification guide “Greenshank v Marsh Sandpiper ID Guide” do one of the following:

– click on this link http://www.photos-n-guides.com/html/common_greenshank_v_marsh_sandpiper.html and select the “Greenshank v Marsh Sandpiper ID Guide” link; (The two photo albums can also be accessed from that same page)

– start at the home page http://www.photos-n-guides.com/, click on the “Identification Guides” navigation button, click on the “Birds” link, click on the “Shorebirds” link, click on the “Greenshank v Marsh Sandpiper” link, then choose either the ID Guide or one of the photo albums.

– hover the cursor over the “Identification Guides” navigation button, move the cursor out to hover over the “Birds” navigation button which has popped out, move the cursor out to hover over the “Shorebirds” navigation button which has popped out, click on the “Shorebirds” navigation button, click on the “Greenshank v Marsh Sandpiper” link, choose either the ID Guide or one of the photo albums.

– go to the Index via the “Quick find index” navigation button and click on one of the links related to either Common Greenshank or Marsh Sandpiper.

The main features of the ID guide are the composite images showing comparisons of the bills, legs and body size of the two species. The photo albums show differences in the plumages of the two species. The images of the bills are of particular interest in my opinion. The ID guide is only intended to be used for birds seen in Australia.
