Wot no big Divers....

Pom Skua and a Little Gull passed Whitburn Obs by 10.30 today. It was back to normal today with both Marks and Stoney was in the house. Sadly despite four pairs of well trained eyes we struggled, it was the first sea watch in ages when we didn't see a larger Diver sp
This is what we saw in order of appearance
