What is Greenshank?
Greenshanks are wading birds in the Sandpiper family. During the period of reproduction, they usually live in northern Europe and in winter usually migrate to Africa and Asia, although in some cases they can migrate to Australia. Greenshank is about 14 inches (36 cm) long and weighs approximately £ 0.5 (0.25 kg). They have long green legs and their feathers are white with gray brown spots and a solid white bottom. Greenshanks have a lifetime of approximately 10 years and have never been an endangered species, partly because they can survive on a number of habitats. Their walking is mostly a slow stem until they indicate a nearby goal, at that moment they can make a quick dash. Greenshanks tend to focus primarily on fish as their main source of food during most parts of the year, but they will also spray on insects, molluscs, W, Worms and other small creatures. During the period of reproduction, insects generally become a more important part of the diet. Usually the time of their hunting on the basis of a tidal situation and the depth of water, which meansthat sometimes they hunt during the day and sometimes at night.
When feeding, Greenshank is generally lonely in his behavior. It is not heard to see several of them together, but usually feed on separately or in widely dispersed groups. They tend to be somewhat cautious and fly quickly if they feel a sense of danger. When he is distributed, Greenshank will often live in a large flock and the birds tend to move on the ground in open areas. In nesting, they usually prefer cleaning in wooded areas and often place their nests near a piece of dead wood.
During the season of mating, the Greenshank men arrive first and founded the territory. Once women arrive, Thsams perform a special imaging flight high in the air. Breeding is generally on the ground, near the coast. During the construction of the nest, they dig up shallow depression in the soil and line it with grass and other plant matter. Greenshanks usually puts a clutch of three to fiveEven eggs and incubate approximately 28 days, while women deal with the largest part of the incubation duties. Males and women form paired ties, but sometimes men can be associated with two women.
