We have had quite a few Whimbrel passing through the reserve so far this 'autumn' (sorry!) and at low tide they forage on the foreshore for worms and invertebrates as well as crabs if they can find them! Russ Sherriff has succeeded in capturing the best shots ever of this enigmatic species on the reserve. You can clearly see the stripy head and Gonzo bent bill tip.
Well done Russ!
