Blue Fulmar and a Manxie passed Whitburn Obs by 09.30 this morning. Magic Mark and Foss joined me and Stoney was in the house. Boy Wonder was AWOL enjoying the latest edition to his family, congrats Ross. It was more of the same again today but with better light except for a bit of proper wader passage early on before the cloud broke
