Only 2 things will bring animals into large groups, sex and food. (include alcohol for humans)
I now think they probably followed a large shoal of egg bearing salmon into the Wick estuary, salmon enter rivers at this time of year to spawn.
They were probably well stuffed, so they then took a rest which is what most people observed.
I went and had a look this evening and they are now well dispersed
Thats my theory, others are just as plausible.
