| When I came in April, the whimbrel, a summer migrant, had arrived to join the resident curlews, redshanks and oystercatchers. |
| Spotted redshank share their forest-marsh nesting grounds with wood sandpipers, greenshank, whimbrel, jack snipe and broad-billed sandpipers. |
| Other notable visitors include spoonbill, Sandwich tern and whimbrel. |
| This probably explains the names of the chough, crake, hoopoe, kittiwake, pipit, shrike, twite and whimbrel. |
| The croak of the heron and the call of the whimbrel are common speech with him. |
| The whimbrel is smaller and has a shorter bill with a kink rather than a smooth curve. |
