Whimbrel in the dawn.


This morning at Fishguard Harbour outer breakwater, the air was full of the plaintive call of whimbrel as I drove out. A party of six were stood on the concrete roadway and slipped out and away onto the blocks further down. On approach I stopped the car and just managed to get this shot as they flew back. Not a prizewinner I know but I did rather like the way the rising sun caught and coloured its plumage! There were also dolphins, for pic's see Whales in Wales Blog...
