🐦Common Redshank
Rödbena (Tringa totanus) är en vadarfågel i familjen snäppor med karakteristiskt röda ben. Den förekommer i stora delar av Europa och Asien norr om Himalaya och österut till Kina. De flesta är flyttfåglar som övervintrar i Mellanöstern, Indien, Sydostasien och lokalt utmed Afrikas kuster, medan merparten i Västeuropa är stannfåglar eller kortflyttare. Den hittas i strandängar både utmed kusten och i våtmarker inåt landet, men även i fjällmiljö. Arten är talrik och IUCN kategoriserar den som livskraftig.
