Great northern Diver and Arctic Skua passed Whitburn Obs by 10.00 this morning. Hoggie came to enjoy the ducks and Stoney was in the house. From the off Common Scoter began passing in flocks of up to 20 at a time, when i left about 13 flocks had gone north a total of 271 birds. The guys were staying on for a while so that could increase, my eye was feeling the strain so ive saved myself for another day. This is what we saw in order of appearance
