A late morning visit was almost abandoned when I found; 8 paddle boarders, several dog walkers and 2 birders already present. I ignored everybody and carried on regardless, making the most of the break in the weather and was rewarded by distant views of 11 whimbrel, my highest count at Rhaslas (record shots only). Also present were 3 swift (first for the year), a single common sandpiper and a fresh influx of wheatear c5. Note 11 whimbrel were reported at Llangorse later in the day, I wonder.
