2 Roseate Terns and 7 Little Gulls passed Whitburn Obs in 3 hours this morning. The rhyme is normally rain rain go away but it was the sun that was a pain this morning. I was preying for clouds but gave in before they arrived, light is everything with sea watching and it was crap. Had plenty of goo birds tho and this is what i saw in order of appearance
