29 Whimbrels still there at 12.30pm today, they had moved away from the tractor and were in fields closer to the Westhay reserve. Also, Cuckoo and bittern on the reserve.

The Whimbrels were still present early this morning until the tractor driver returned to continue rotovating the fields ,they then flew off.

A 54 strong flock of Whimbrel is still present on fields just to the east of the Westhay Moor Carpark on the south side of the road.

About 4.45 this afternoon, 2 flocks of Whimbrel low over London Drove, 42 and later on 15 (so could have been part of the 42).  5 hobbies (4 seen together, so definitely different), many hundreds of swallows plus all the regulars.
