3 Roseate and 2 Black Terns went south past Whitburn Obs on my early morning watch today . And the White beaked Dolphin's were showing on a flat calm sea. Yes it was a cure for my blues. It was a slow start and i wondered had the Terns moved on already but they did get going and the juvenile Black Terns were a real bonus, this is what i saw in order of appearance
