Uncertain......

2 Whinchat and a Wheatear arrived on the firing range today viewed from Whitburn Obs. Uncertain is the name of a moth and sums up the situation today. The weather started northerly and tried every direction and threw in mist and fog, the birds couldn't decide whether to go north or south....uncertain
Swift was new for my Obs list yesterday and today it was Whinchat bringing my list to 141. I packed in early when all passage had dried up and went to try for some video of the Whinchats but all the birds had moved off except circa 50 Swallows feeding around the mounds.
