The Common Greenshank (*Tringa nebularia*) is a large, long-legged wader found across Australia’s wetlands during the non-breeding season. It migrates thousands of kilometers from breeding grounds in northern Europe and Asia, making it a familiar sight in both coastal and inland wetlands from August to March.
