Summary.1 Whilst individual (colour‐ringed) Redshanks showed a preference for certain feeding areas, they did not defend them. They showed no preference for any areas during display and the location of ground displays was determined by the location of the female. 2 During hatching and fledging of chicks an area was defended against potential predators, but not against other Redshanks. 3 A territory was not required for the location of the mate, which was done by calling.
