14 Whooper Swans a Great northern Diver and 112 Little Gulls passed Whitburn Obs by 11 this morning. It was a case of same times, same place, similar birds and similar observers.Only today the female interest came in the form of an old friend Ed, she was looking good on her jog past, and the mystery blonde was a no show. Sea Watching was enjoyable in good light if not spectacular but not bad for a south westerly in November. Magic Mark was in along with Hoggie and Walter and this is what we saw today in order of appearance
