A Red necked Grebe went north past Whitburn at 6.05 this morning our first for the year bringing my obs list to 125 for the year. I was joined by Magic Mark who called the bird in difficult light, well done Mark. I had to leave for work at 07.30 and left Mark watching. It was a busy couple of hours and this is what we saw in order of appearance
