Birds of the Costa Blanca - Non-passerines

Spotted Redshank (Tringa erythropus)

Here's a bit of an oddity - a Spotshank with half a beak! Difficult to know how this happened, but it seemed to be managing OK. Seen at El Pinet on 17th September 2010, I found it several times during that visit, but I haven't seen it since.
