| Aquatic birds of various kinds are very numerous, such as geese, darters, scissor-bills, adjutants, pelicans, cormorants, cranes, whimbrels, plovers, and ibises. |
| Knots and whimbrels join the growing throng on the Conwy estuary, where the count of little egrets is an impressive 61 birds and a spoonbill was seen again at the weekend. |
| Four stately Whimbrels rested quietly amid the dowitchers, which moved quickly and kept probing the mud with their rod-like bills. |
| Whimbrels have left their breeding grounds in the Shetland Isles, Outer Hebrides and Iceland. |
| Wood Sandpiper, Knot and Whimbrels are among the waders there over the weekend. |
| Whimbrels in Iceland show a strong preference for sparsely vegetated riverplains. |
