WYSIWYG
the attached pictures were taken in the Shetland islands in june of last year
i must admit that i'm totally hopeless in trying to disentangle curlew from whimbrel unless they were standing next to one another, especially since they should be equally numerous in that part of the world
location for the pix :
(1) near Brae in the north-west corner of the mainland
(2) North Roe, again the north-western tip of the mainland
(3) near Muness Castle on Yell
(4) near Skaw on Unst
