Bar-wits and Whimbrels

 

Whimbrel and 3 Bar-tailed Godwit at Porthloo 

The NNE wind in the last few day has made it very quiet on the bird front. This morning there was a female Ring Ouzel on the golf course and a drive down the road found 6 Bar-tailed Godwit with over 30 Whimbrel at Porthloo. 5 Whimbrel were also at Bants Carn this evening and I heard a Cuckoo from the garden mid afternoon.

35+House Martin and 220+Swallow over the pool with 10 Whimbrel also flying over.
