Drake Garganey and a Manxie went north at Whitburn Obs this morning. No sign again of the hoped for Black Tern but i was not that disappointed Drake Garganey made up for the lack of Terns. May day it is and i said it twice as this is the second time in two years I've seen Drake Garganey from the Obs on May day. Well done Magic Mark for alerting us to get on the bird. Garganey is an Obs Mega and Stevie Thunder was glad he had joined us this morning. Shame the light was poor but we still managed a good variety of birds. We chatted about my DBC field trip to Bishop Middleham yesterday and i was saying it was a success tho a few more folk would have been nice. It was Steve's next destination and he fancied finding a Wood Sandpiper and i explained where i thought the best place to find one was....and i was right!. Well done Steve
This is what we saw in order of appearance
