This shot show the greenshank on a winter day in Israel ponds, most of the population that migrate to Israel continue to Africa after the fall, and only smaller numbers stay to the winter in Israel, and in the end of the winter will comeback to Europe and the arctic area to breed .
probably most of the specimen’s that stay are weaker ones, that feel a need to stay in Israel and gain strength and body fat, specimens that feel that the journey south is to much for them .
here we see how lovely is the greenshank on winter worm lighting when he lift him self and spared his neck to look forward, this behavior that are not seen in the wild offend with sandpiper , most of the time the standing and movement is more lower angel .
