Little Gull and 4 Blue Fulmars passed Whitburn Obs by 10.30. I was joined by Magic Mark, Boy Wonder, Chinchinery, and Stoney was in the house. Yes we had April showers, rain showers, sleet showers and snow showers however we were not showered in quality. The birding was lacking a bit of qulity for a northerly tho the Long tailed Ducks were mega and stole the show
This is what we saw in order of appearance
