115 Whooper Swans flew north past Whitburn Obs by 10 am. It seemed like a constant flow of Whoopers with groups of 2,26,18,37, and 32 it was sensational. Thanks for the news from birders to the south of us we were on tender hooks for the 70ish coming north past Hartlepool, looks like they split into two groups.Magic Mark beat me in today and we were joined by Pink Floyd and Hoggie, this is what we saw in order of appearance
