June...out with a bang

2 Pom Skuas and a Red-necked Grebe went north at Whitburn Obs this morning on a fantastic sea watch. If this is June comeback soon, both Marks were in and Pink Floyd and we loved it. Great light no fog, quality birds and Dolphins...twice. And a great Northern Diver landed on the sea in front of us mega.
This is what we saw in order of appearance
