2 Arctic Skuas and a Greenshank passed Whitburn Obs in the easrly morning mist. It was bins only, no scope required as the mist and fog refused to budge. Star wader from the 9 species i saw was Greenshank one went south, we only record half a dozen a year. The weather is not what the doctor ordered as its Airshow weekend and the National Whale and Dolphin Watch!
