Very similar to the previous species, although not its closest relative, breeding
in the high Arctic, this is a familiar passage migrant in Europe on its
way to Africa (it also winters east to the Indian subcontinent). Whilst juveniles
are common on passage, the right hand shot is a plumage
rarely seen in Britain, a bird in non-breeding plumage taken in
Ethiopia.
