Llanrhystud Curlews

Hi Pete and Jenni, your Whimbrels would have been Curlews, there's quite a large wintering flock along that bit of coast, over 200 in some years.  Also its a bit early for Whimbrels.  They are migrants, which pass through during the spring and autumn the first of the year don't normally turn up until April.  Llanrhystud's a good place to look for them, but not for a couple of months.
