Ooops!!! I couldn't see any at first, then got one. Finally ended with 6 when I got my eye in a bit.

I might have another go later!

That's a tough one Joe - they really are suited to that habitat, aren't they.
 
Good guesses. I count 9 with another blurry one in the bottom front a likely 10th. Lou is right about the species but I think the ratio is wrong. I see one Least in front center, but the rest are actually Westerns mostly in breeding (alternate) plumage molting into non-breeding (basic). Here is another picture of the group. I think there are at least twelve birds in this photo. Can you find them all?
