8 Bottlenose Dolphins went north past Whitburn Obs early morning then 5 went south again in case i missed the the first time video link attached.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9x-aaZdfvg . The John lee Hooker song title seemed apt. The sea watch was quiet otherwise. New Mark joined me at the end of my watch and i did see a Bonxie when i had to return to the obs to collect my mobile id left on the seat!
