Huntspill Sea Wall - whimbrel and wheatear.

Short walk between the Huntspill sea sluice and the sewage outfall this morning turned up 18 whimbrel on the wall, later down on the mud as I approached, half a dozen wheatears on the rocks, several skylarks, meadow pipits and swallows.

20+ whimbrel this morning between 11 and 12am, plus several wheatears, 4 oystercatchers, linnets, skylarks and plenty of shelduck. As I arrived I passed Brian Hill who reported having just counted 77 whimbrel before several departed for the far (Steart) bank.
