Whimbrel

27th April 2012, Friday

I had a interesting chat with Roy Gardener (a regular visitor to the reserve) this morning and he reported at least 60 Whimbrel at Castle Water yesterday and at least 30 today. I had a drive around the fields mid morning and found 20 birds feeding. So it seems there are a few Whimbrel about, it’s  just a case of finding where they are roosting.
