Awesome results Vipin. The Redshank looks a bit on the Common side ;-)
We get a lot of Spotted Redshanks submitted in eBird that are all this ussuriensis - subspecies of Common Redshank. European birders are not used to this kind pf plumage on Common Redshank, so it's quite understandable. That why I have set the Spotted Redshank filter limit in the UAE to 0 zero - to try to catch these birds.
