Here’s a #BirdOfTheDay #groups offering

This set captures a surprising fly-by of gorgeous #Whimbrels at the beach. This is the only occasion I have seen them at the beach.

I know the first and third pics don’t meet the minimum quantity, but the blurry middle pic makes my case for qualification 😊

#Whimbrels SOGA and ABU have migrated back to the #Bijagós nonbreeding area in Guinea-Bissau after their breeding season in Iceland. You can track it all yourself by playing at www.globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/speci...
Check it out!

Photograhed this beautiful Whimbrel in flight near Manzanita, along the Oregon Coast! 1/1000 second exposure captured the body sharply with a bit of motion blur on the wings. #🪶 #birds #nature #birding #Oregoncoast #blueskyday #birder #naturephotography #birdphotography #whimbrels #shorebirds

This past week in Norfolk has felt like I'm on holiday, gorgeous weather & gorgeous birds, too many to mention but great to see & hear #GardenWarblers #LesserWhitethroats #TurtleDoves #Cuckoos #Whimbrels & the sky full of #Hobbies again, still can't believe I live here ♥️ #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

More whimbrels… because they need more people to know about them #whimbrels #birds

Celebrating as our #whimbrels just landed on their way to Iceland - we counted 31 or 32 in this first flock #Inishowen

Very quiet around the #Weymouth bird reserves today & wet & miserable. Little light, so very poor photos. This #ReedBunting was at #Radipole. At #Lodmoor there was a #WoodSandpiper, 3 #Greenshanks, 2 #Whimbrels, plenty of #Godwits. #UKBirding #Birds

#Whimbrels do it. #Wildebeest do it. Even some testes do it. What is it? #Mammalfacts #mammals #mammalogy
