Fairly certain its a Redshank but these waders can be difficult to identify, especially if huddled to keep warm like this one is. http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/r/redshank/index.aspx

Thank you all, so by artistic licence I name this bird a Redstone ( or the lesser known Turnshank). I must buy myself a book on bird identification......

Thanks for the link to the RSPB, David, I've saved it in my favourites. I never thought of checking the web for a reference (too tied up with the photography and PP)!
