25 Arctic Terns a Manxie and 4 Whimbrel passed Whitbun Obs by 9am this morning. Conditions were difficult for sea watching today with bright sun through light cloud but i did manage to connect with a few birds, but what did i miss. Happy, yes I'm always happy when I'm birding especially when i get Whinchat on my obs year list. One on the firing range fence was welcome
