The following figure depicts the arrival patterns of Sandpipers and Common Redshank. (Note that each sighting is shown as a vertical black line.)

bar code - group 2- sandpipers redshank

The above results show that the Common, Wood and Green Sandpipers, and the Common Redshank all begin arriving in July itself. The Green Sandpiper is the first to leave (early April) while the Common and Wood Sandpipers stick around until the beginning of May. Most Common Redshanks, too, have flown back by early May. Many thanks to all MigrantWatchers whose observations enabled us to come up with these summaries!
