Pretty quiet down Angle way this morning, although perhaps not surprising with the tide well up. At Kilpaison no waders at all on two visits and at Angle Harbour a lone Whimbrel. Freshwater West was a little better with 1 Common Sandpiper and 11 Whimbrel including one in the middle of the road running through the dunes which ran along in front of the car for 200 yards or more before taking to the wing. The bird photo'd looks pretty bored with the whole scene!
