The sky was tinged purple as i approached Whitburn this morning, but hopefully no hallucination's for me today
Just a reminder i list the species in order of appearance. and can i say a big thank you to Andrew Kinghorn for sorting out my Blog, i hope to improve it over time so any help appreciated
For a few years now i have been sending e mails of my early morning sea watch to fellow Whitburn devotees Mark Newsome and Steve Addinall titled view from the obs and this Blog is a natural progression of those e mails
