644 Little Auks 2 Sootys and a Slav Grebe passed Whitburn by 10.30 this morning. Yes its bonfire night today and things started with a bang! the first three species called were Little Auk, Slav Grebe and Velvet Scoter. The Little Auks just kept coming some in the surf. I was joined by Magic Mark, Pink Floyd and Stevie Makem and more later, I left a full Obs to go to work. This is what we saw in order of appearance
