Tringa glareola
Mid-size long-legged wader, grows up to 20cm, and is the smallest of shanks. It shows brown heavily spotted coat and white underparts, prominent whitish supercilium and yellowish long legs.
Seen on shores of soda lake in central Kenya. Observed during four to five days of my stay on shores, in loosely congregated groups of various waders, gulls and cormorants.
Other birds observed in this flocks were Common, Green and Marsh Sandpipers, Greenshanks, Ruffs, stilts and stints, as well as some smaller plovers (Common, Kittlitz, three-banded plover)
