An early morning walk around the Spit soon revealed a number of Whimbrel feeding in the saltmarsh. During the day several parties flew in off the sea uttering their piping call. Whimbrel are usually a little more confiding than Curlew to photograph and enable a closer approach before being disturbed...hence a few images this morning.
Walking back along the beach a pair of Linnets were feeding on the flower heads of the Sea Kale....it appears they were choosing the unopened flower buds...a pleasant background for these two images.
