Whimbrel

I was working in Kerry on Thursday 16th and not too far from Black Rock Strand where a Semi-palmated Sandpiper had been seen last week end and on into early this week.  So I decided to head over to see if I could tick the Semi-P for my year list but unfortunately the time was well up on the beach and there were few waders about.  This Whimbrel was a late stayer on approach field to the beach at Black Rock.  He looked a little be worn and tatty and there was some growth or damage on the left side of his body.
