7 Little Gulls and a Roseate Tern passed Whitburn Obs by 9am his morning. It was always going to be a hard act to follow after yesterdays first class watch, so it did feel like it was after the lord mayor's show. I was joined by Saint Mark and Stevie Makem and Stoney was in the house. The bright sun made viewing difficult but we made the most of it and did ok in the end but didn't hang about
This is what we saw in order of appearance
