We've had a large flock of Curlews around for a few days as they seem to like the Cauliflower fields after they've been cut. Jim took his Canon with the longer lens today and managed some nice shots of them (don't know why I put Whimbrels - I've been calling them Curlews for days !)

    I think you will find they are Curlews. Whimbrels have shorter kinked bills and a strong crown and eyestripe and pass through much later in April May, although a few do overwinter.
