2 Great northern Divers and 5 Velvet Scoter went north past Whitburn obs in 4 hours this morning. The star birds were a repeat of yesterday. New Mark joined me and Stoney was in the house, conditions were good and the second great northern was close inshore but none of us reached for a camera we were all enjoying the bird!, this is what we saw in order of appearance
