Beating a hasty and wet retreat to the car, I retrieved the situation somewhat by taking a few photos from the car before heading back to the hotel to dry out!
There was a small flock of Common Redshanks and Curlew Sandpipers close enough for photography at the far end of the pond, and the rain cleared at dawn to allow me to take a few digiscoped shots.

Some Curlew Sandpipers in fresh breeding plumage. Those pale feather edges will soon wear away, making the chestnut appear brighter and brighter. Take a look at this post to see how this works.
Curlew Sandpipers, Common Redshanks and a Marsh Sandpiper. The calls are mostly Terek Sandpipers. Full video here.
