An adult Little Gull went north past Whitburn Obs this morning seen thanks to Magic Marks sharp eyes.It was a quiet start to the year but i still managed to get my Obs year list going with 38 species. It was just Mark and myself hoping for a white winger, we got one but not the Glauc or Iceland we wanted. I did end the day with 4 white winged gull species on my county year list just need Ivory now! (2014 in Durham ended on 242 for me)
