Crappy shots, but they have to do until I get better ones. Another Lifer for me :)

The second one is most likely a Juv of that species.

Have seen them yesterday at Mangaf beach. 14 of them in flocks of 2’s and 3’s flying by.

Two Whimbrels at Mangaf beach, another Lifer :>>.

Sorry for the crappy quality, but they surprised me.
I was snapping the Greater Sand Plovers quite happily when
they all of a sudden started a screaming fit and
went after the Whimbrels.
Up to then they had posed for me quite nicely.
See here :)

Seen at the small beach in Mangaf.

ID-ed by Birdforum members - thanks, guys :)

For shots like this I really start to miss a longer lens. Guess I will have a look at the Nikon

shop here in Kuwait sooner or later ;)

Btw., another Lifer for me :>>
