6 Bottlenose Dolphins went north past Whitburn obs early this morning. After a busy weekend birding i was feeling the Monday morning blues. Sea watching was difficult with bright sun through mist and i was just about to give up when the Dolphins surfaced in front of me. They were not very showy but brightened up my morning. This is what i saw on my watch today
