The marsh sandpiper (Tringa stagnatilis), a small wader, resembles a small elegant greenshank, with a long fine bill and very long yellowish/green legs. It forages in shallow water or on wet mud, mainly eating insects, and similar small prey. It breeds in open grassy steppe and taiga wetlands from easternmost Europe to central Asia, and winters mainly in Africa and India – with fewer migrating to Southeast Asia and Australia.
